Dope, Listening now.
I didn’t know Facebook and Google were beefing like that. I’ve always been a fan of google though, even though I have an iPhone. But I’m waiting for the Amazon Tablet so I can have an android device. I think Amazon have a lot of potential. I love the Kindle.
Yeah i’m really anxious to see what Amazon will do in the tablet space and if reports are true about an Amazon smartphone I’ll be really interested. In the war between Facebook and Google I’d side with Google. I’m not a Zuckerberg (Facebook) fan and I totally do not like how they have handled privacy and user information in the past.
I don’t think Amazon should do a smartphone. There is no point in that as the market is too competitive. If they’re smart they’ll stick to the tablet because it makes sense for them. The only thing is I love my Kindle, and I’m scared that I’ll have no use for it anymore if Amazon bring out a tablet.
Great episode
