I think you are misinformed. Google has a larger book selection and App selection than Amazon. Amazon has a better movie catalog and music. Both have online storage and music storage, but the music storage/streaming on Google is far better than Amazon. To say one is better is naive, they are different and therefore will suit one person better than another.

Amazon did a great job of showing Google how an ecosystem need to be rolled out with the product. They did it by offering a solid product, at a great price and unifying all of their services.

Google had all of the services in place, but it did not have them unified. The Nexus7 was Google's attempt to follow suit and Amazon noticed. If you saw Amazon's event they where aggressively attacking both the iPad and Nexus7. Last year there was no mention of any Android tablet because there was not threat.


I think the battle is far from over they are all stepping up their game.
