Odd way to say thanks to Google for providing open source Android OS to build out their platform.
- ocdtrekkie 11y agoGoogle didn't really "provide" it. By open sourcing it, anyone can use it, Amazon has no reason to thank them. On the contrary, Google has used the "incompatible" excuse to refuse to let Kindle users have access to Google Apps. I think Amazon is fighting back with their strength (Amazon.com) against device platforms that use similar tactics but are much larger in the device market. Whether it's a good idea, that's questionable. Google is violating antitrust law, but by doing this... so is Amazon.
