I don't think this really happened very much, but I'd love to see some numbers. Maybe a lot of tech enthusiasts waited on upgrading to stick with Google Maps until the new Google Maps came out.
> Amazon was willing to create a second competing marketplace and sell its devices as media players, but Facebook will not have those in place if they fork Android. Do you think Facebook has enough leverage to pull this off?
I would be surprised if Facebook went this way and didn't stay within the bounds other phone makers do and get Google certification. There is no reason why Google wouldn't allow Facebook to sell a phone with Google Play on it.
