I just like the irony that Google is unhappy with the rules of a captive app store, how they are allowed to update, how their app works with the higher level search they don't control, etc.
- jfrunyon 5y agoI'm not sure where the irony is, since Google doesn't have a captive app store, unlike say Apple.
- tyingq 5y agoAh, well I suppose Google can just then instruct customers to side load into their Rokus, since that's straightforward and not captive.

- jfrunyon 5y agoSideloading on a Roku is actually significantly more difficult thank sideloading on Android. You can also only sideload one application at a time. Don't get me wrong, I don't think that Google has a leg to stand on here, but they're the least of the villains in this story as far as a captive app audience goes.
