Re: [iPad] Fight! Amazon Takes the Gloves off Against Apple’s iPad Mini

 

You are right there, Ted. I like that I can download from anywhere there's an Android app but don't do it. So far, staying with the Google Play Store. Less chance of bad things happening. I haven't explored Google Music yet, so don't know if I can import into iTunes or not.

I'm just glad there's some kind of competition. I like to look at Apple, Amazon, and Google for iPad content.

The nice thing about Amazon is that you can buy music and load it into iTunes on a computer... or play it through the Cloud Player app. You can join Amazon Prime and stream video on an iPad. Also, a lot of people have bought a Kindle, so you have access to those books as well.

I don't see the same usefulness out of Google's ecosystem yet. It feels klunky, but if I can find an album/song/book cheaper there, I'll buy it.

I've been in the Apple ecosystem for a very long time so I wouldn't consider the Fire.  But if I wasn't, Amazon would certainly be a consideration.  While Amazon's current ecosystem isn't quite up to Apple's, it is moving in the right direction.


I've said in other forums that the two winners in touchpads over the long term will be Apple and Amazon, both because they have or are working strongly, on the ecosystem.

The more generic Android market just isn't there at all imo, especially on touchpads.  Most apps are still designed around the touchphone screen and the market is a mess.

I like Amazon and their ecosystem, especially since they've made parts of it work on the iPad. I have a Kindle Fire from last year, but ended up giving it to my wife for book/magazine reading.
