I wish Amazon gets into the handheld device business.
They clearly understand consumers, software, infrastructure & user-experience. They missed the boat with the ipod, here's a fantastic opportunity to do something about it.
- kylec 17y agoSince the "1984 incident" I trust Amazon even less than I trust Apple. At least Apple doesn't yank music/apps/whatever off their customers' devices.
- bkudria 17y agoI suspect because it's difficult for them to technically do so. They would have pulled the GV Mobile app in an instant, if they could have, but the iPhone OS doesn't have this capability. The Kindle does.
- boucher 17y agoActually, they do have this capability, but they haven't used it.
- tsetse-fly 17y agoWhy would it be technically difficult for Apple to remove apps from your phone? Implementing a backdoor in your own software is fairly trivial.
- akkartik 17y agoInstead you just "lose" music on your ipod willy-nilly. Amazon apologized; it's unlikely they'll delete books again. I trust them more.
