              Shorty Pimp, 02 Oct 2015Can't see how this doesn't end in an antitrust lawsuit.Won't happen as they are still freely and openly selling competing devices to their own hardware - just not the two stated in the article

                True, Amazon app store is a standalone download from their website. Amazon has no respect for buyers and now Google - sad.

                    I concur with ALL statements below and will sum up with one word : -

                    "Precisely"!

                      Can't see how this doesn't end in an antitrust lawsuit.
