Thoughts from a Bafta nominated Podcaster, Blogger, Writer and Commentator.
If you have an employee who has shown that the job he does can be done for a sixth of the cost, do you (a) fire him for hiring a Chinese company to his job so he can watch cat videos and surf on Reddit, or (b) promote him to ‘Head of Outsourcing’, make him fire all his friends, and then hire even more Chinese programmers to do the same work at a lower rate?
Kevin Marks, re-iterating that Android is not just Google Android: Why would Amazon do this [The Amazon Android tablet]? Because they are primarily in the shopping and media business. Apple has stopped them selling eBooks and media inside their apps on iPad/iPhone; Google has banned their App Store from the Google Android Market. Amazon could even offer a referral fee for anything bought via their store as an incentive for device manufacturers to ship it.
