They don't want competition.
As the parent stated, that is youtube starting.
And now they also have to protect amazon mp3 investment on them.
Seems weird, but I bet theres lots of politics between google and amazon over android
- trotsky 16y agoIsn't the planned google music (set to launch in 2011) service going to be more or less in direct competition with Amazon MP3 & Cloud player? I doubt they are protecting Amazon interests here.
- gcb 16y agoAre you pretty sure it will not be a way to direct people to amazon? Google shopping is not about google selling stuff... and guess who's usually on top Either way, I'm still sure I'm not allowed to uninstall amazon mp3 app from my android super open and free dev phone
- trotsky 16y agoI think that it's true. They have been trying to secure streaming and sales licenses from the labels for some time now. I suppose if that falls through (the labels are brutal at this stage of negotiations) they might team up with amazon, but I'd be surprised if that happened. They do have some precedent here, consider the google books ebookstore: http://books.google.com/ebooks http://books.google.com/ebooks
