By and large, Google (and the Google Play Store) play nice with other content distributors. Amazon don't.
I installed instant Video a week ago, and I was astonished at the lengths it went to to enable the Amazon App store. I can see why Amazon may do this, but from my perspective, it was just too dangerous. Instant Video and the Amazon App were uninstalled 10 hours later.
I've a 30 day eval of Amazon Prime. If I could legitimately install an app that had chromecast abilities, I would probably have stayed with Prime. As it is, I'm back to Netflix and the Google Play store.
- what_ever 12y agoDo you think Google will launch Fire TV/stick support for Google Play Movies/TV/Music in future?
- HarrietJones 12y agoWell they just launched youtube on Apple TV, so I don't see why not. There's an issue with having to buy the content on a separate platform (See Comixology for an example of this), but otherwise - yeah. I can see no problem with Google providing software to Amazon that allows content to be consumed.
