news when we see them in passing do not believe that will affect us too. As the present case: The Nook Tablet, which until now had only own shop, the app will Google Play . As in Spain does not sell Nook, immediately discard the news. But, once you ruminate content, connect the dots and make conjectures, we realize that we could be facing a major story.
Nook , sold exclusively by bookstore chain Barnes and Noble , follow a pattern very similar to the Kindle Amazon . They started as a simple e-books, but the lower price of the electronic components and recent changes in fashion have made have become full-fledged tablets. Similarly, using a modified version of Android with its unique interface, and have a own app to download the book. Therefore, logic is did not include Google Play , as that would be the equivalent of a supermarket seller ceases to ambulate within their facilities: is unwanted competition that can do much damage.
is very disconcerting that this move by B & N to launch Google Play for your Nook Tablet HD and HD + . What’s behind this movement? According to official sources:
saw that the market was moving toward multifunction tablets. Market studies have shown that the amount of available applications is really critical.
This means that users no longer buy tablets for one purpose, but are aware of the enormous possibilities that a device like this, and do not want to waste them. And for that we need a store able shop like Google Play where the vast majority of developers release their apps by default.
The big question is
Is Amazon the next? Of course, we are talking about two products with a very different scope. Surely Amazon can afford not to offer Google Play and continue investing in his own shop, but keep in mind that your own CEO, Jeff Bezos, already warned that not discarded but that Google had not said anything yet .
the end, it is all about branding. The Android brand is stronger every day, and is associated by default with Google Play . If users believe they are buying a product gelding by not having access to the huge market of apps, manufacturers react accordingly. It may not make sense from the point of view of losing sales because of competition, but they may have it if Amazon does not want to lose sales because users believe that Kindle Android tablet is not “real”.
opens a debate that ma go there. Trying Google, provide services to all those Chinese and orphans android Google Apps and put them into the fold of Google services?
