I don't think Amazon in general is a welcome force in the Android world and I doubt many people enjoy submitting apps to both Google Play and Amazon. They are contributing to fragmentation of the platform.
- Steko 14y agoI think the opposite is actually true. Competition has forced Google to step up it's game lest Samsung et al replace their ecosystem with Amazon's.
- alayne 14y agoI agree that Android is an evolving comedy.
- _pmf_ 14y agoI'm spending a constant dribble of money on the ridiculously small, crappy and unfriendly Amazon marketplace and not a single cent on Google Play because it does not accept my money. There's about 100 - 200 EUR worth of applications on Play (that are not on Amazon) that I would immediately buy once Play accepts PayPal.
- bad_user 14y agoI don't understand why PayPal should be a standard. I'm kind of the opposite of you, as requiring payments through PayPal annoys me greatly.
- _pmf_ 14y agoI don't want PayPal to be their standard provider; I merely want the option to use PayPal. In the EU, PayPal is now forced to behave like a real bank, so maybe the hate PayPal gets is mostly justified for the US market.
