They're getting there but I don't think they're quite there yet. Amazon has no presence on TV or (afaik) desktop, besides web which is pretty poor for music (i.e. no AirPlay integration, no media keys). Google has Chromecast now which is a really good step forward but it's more about streaming seemingly. GoogleTV was a bit of a flop.
Both Google and Amazon are catching up and offer very good services (which may cover your uses - e.g. if you don't use your laptop for music or don't stream music), however they don't offer quite as much as Apple as of yet. Can't wait to see what they bring out over the next few years though.
- officemonkey 13y ago"Amazon has no presence on TV" Whatever do you mean? Amazon instant video is right up there with Hulu and Netflix for on-line content. There are apps on my iPhone and my Roku. iTunes can't say that.
- kaolinite 13y agoAh, I'm speaking from a UK perspective there. I'd forgotten they were doing TV stuff in the US. I don't think that's available here.
- eric_the_read 13y agoAmazon are quite active in the UK video market; they own LoveFilm, after all. Edit: removed dupes. Sorry about that.
