More and more digital content consumption is happening on mobile devices. And Amazon can't sell on iOS devices because Apple locks out anyone who won't pay a 30% ransom.
You can't buy a book or rent an instant movie on an iPhone. It is a big weak spot.
- jlarocco 12y agoCan't do them in an app. Both of those things are possible in a web browser on an iPhone. I can even watch the movie in the Amazon Instant Video app, but I'm not sure I could stand a whole movie on such a tiny screen.
- al2o3cr 12y ago"ransom"? Funny, you can't rent a movie from Google on Amazon.com either. Or buy a Taco Bell burrito from McDonalds.
- rhino369 12y agoMy iphone isn't apple.com. It is mine. I'm not asking apple to make sure I can get amazon products. I'm asking them not to go out of their way to make sure I can't. Imagine if Microsoft would only allow software on windows that it approved and got 30% ransom.
