- Spivak 9y agoIt looks to be as open as Apple's TvOS, but that's not the point. Having a easygoing gatekeeper protecting your walled garden doesn't make it open.
- darawk 9y agoI wouldn't say that Amazon's is open. I would say it is much more open than Apple's, though.
- pbarnes_1 9y agoDownloading API kits and actually getting those things you built approved for distribution are very different things though.
- darawk 9y agoAmazon approval is basically a rubber stamp. Can't say the same for Apple's. I'm also not aware of Amazon denying anything for competitive purposes. Amazon is happy to let Spotify on their platform, despite having a music service of their own, for instance.
