Though Amazon never extracts any marketing mileage out of the openness of android. Google just sounds disingenuous here


Why would they want to advertise Google or Android? They have a product to sell! Focus!


Why? Why oh why do they sound disingenuous?

AOSP is OSS. Google's proprietary apps, for their propreitary services (GMail, Google Calendar, Google Play), are not. Why d you so wrongly act like Google has to provide those applications? Especially if someone has forked Android to compete with traditional Android offerings?
