"You can't mention Amazon, but we can use it."
- dot 14y agowell, we're talking about two different teams in a very big company...
- k-mcgrady 14y agoI'm not defending Apple but your point is completely irrelevant. They don't want products in their store to mention a competitor. That has nothing to do with them using a service which they don't have a competitor for.
- w-ll 14y agoYour comment does't make sense... Amazon is a competitor to Apple in the realm of selling eBooks.
- k-mcgrady 14y agoWhat I meant was that Amazon is a competitor to the iBookstore (so naturally Apple would prefer not to sell products which mention Amazon). I was pointing out that Apple using Amazon's cloud services is irrelevant because Apple does not compete with them on that product.
