It's so so hard to imagine Amazon actually building any useful or interesting ecosystem. They won't open source these works. They probably won't talk about them. Another black knight contender in the tech world. There'll end up having to be some kind of sdk, some outreach to devs, but most of this is going to be a huge black box that no one can read anything about. A dark OS.
Maybe just the modern Nintendo strategy of having no third party software is enough, works out. Maybe the big mainstreams apps will all sign up.

- woleium 3y agoI imagine it’ll be _nearly_ android app compatible, so no need for sdk
- pkulak 3y agoWhy not entirely compatible? Can’t have the Google bits though, which makes most stuff not work anyway, I guess.
- psnehanshu 3y agoYou mean just like iOS?
- ApolloFortyNine 3y agoEven in this thread people are asking about Google's handling of android requiring anti trust intervention. No shot a company would open source their os in the future, when apple has shown you can lock down a 30% tax on all app installs and draw no attention for some reason.
- masklinn 3y agoAre you living years in the past? Apple is literally preparing side loading and third party stores support right now because of the EU Digital Markets Act.
- Zetobal 3y agoGood that they finally had a change of heart and nobody had to force them to do the right thing.
- masklinn 3y agoI mean they absolutely had to be forced into it but GP's statement was > when apple has shown you can lock down a 30% tax on all app installs and draw no attention for some reason.
- m463 3y agoI wonder how much of aws is closed source.
