Rumored set-top box has its own controller
A new image leaking out today shows what appears to be an Amazon branded game controller. The image obtained by Zatznotfunny shows a pretty regular looking game controller with the addition of Android styled back, home and menu buttons as well as those for media control.
The report claims that the controller will be an accessory available with the much rumored Amazon set-top box. The presence of Android control buttons is unusual for an Amazon product – they're not found on the Kindle Fire – but hints that this box may indeed be running a version of Android.
