It looks like Amazon is getting ready to enter the set-top box market. If so, the online retailer needs to go big or go home, because the competition is simply too intense for anything less than amazing.

Will Amazon release a set-top box this year? All the pieces seem to in place certainly, between the retailer’s robust online video offerings both premium and Prime (not to mention a slew of original material), as well as some experience in the hardware department through various Kindle devices. According to Bloomberg Businessweek, the company will be doing just that this fall — that information, incidentally, comes from three anonymous sources. The device is said to let users stream web content to a set, not unlike Apple’s own offering in the space. The site even went so far as suggesting “Kindle TV” as a name, though that seems to be Businessweek‘s own wishful thinking.
Update: We reached out to Amazon and received, not surprisingly, the customary no comment.
