No, no, no. We should be asking a different question. Amazon has their own modified FireOS based off of Android that they are using. How is the competition between Google and Amazon going?

Wow, now this is interesting. About Amazon’s FireOS fork. They didn’t entirely want it to be that way, they wanted to license Android a little bit more like Google, but Google’s licensing restrictions on their official apps were too restrictive, so they were booted out of the hardware market they wanted to get into and left to sell only their own devices. Then that’s how FireOS became a flop, because of lack of good hardware.

Indeed, Amazon and Google are direct competitors, in many many ways.
Wow, now this article has some pretty good insights.
Finally, I’m reminded of something I read in 2004 or thereabouts (sorry, I can’t recall where). It was an interview with Bill Gates, then still the head of the world’s leading hi-tech company, Microsoft. He was asked about Google as a competitor.
Instead of dismissing them off-hand as a lesser leader would do, Gates responded that Google is a clear and direct competitor, or even a threat – not because they do Search, but because they are a software company. Gates identified Google’s prominence among software engineers, and correctly recognized them as a threat to his own company which led the software world for decades. He was right to be worried.
