Amazon.com Inc will hold a rare press conference in New York on April 2 amid intense speculation that it will reveal a streaming device that rivals the Apple TV and Google Chromcast. Peter Larsen, vice president of the companys Kindle division, will provide an update on Amazons video business at the event, Amazon said on Thursday. Speculation has been high that Amazon is close to revealing a streaming device – a set-top box or connecting dongle – that can pipe video into the living room. It would compete with devices made by Apple, Google and U.S. television start-up Roku.
