The Kindle Fire!
As many of my readers know, I once made a prediction about the Kindle Fire and it really came true! So I’m here today to give a few reasons why Amazon will eventually come to the Android Market Place in reguards to video on demand and their Amazon Prime Membership [Affiliate Link] benefit! Nothing I’ve say is always going to be true but it will be a very real possibility.
Amazon VOD is available on Apple!
Even though this is really new, Amazon recently announced that you can use their Video on Demand (VOD) on any Apple Product, such as the Ipad [Affiliate Link]. That isn’t really a surprise in my book, I knew they would need to come to to the Apple Ipad but never knew when they would. It was really something that was going to have to happen because of their need to grow. They want people to sign up to their Prime Membership and thus people would want to be able to watch their shows and other such movies on a portable device such as an Ipad!
Kindle Fire sales Slow Down!
After their big launch of the Kindle Fire [Affiliate Link] last year, we are seeing sales of the Fire declining. The Price point of the Kindle is far cheaper to buy than an Ipad and thus people are looking for a cheap alternative to view their movies and shows without paying for the high Priced Apple Ipad! This isn’t nothing new when it comes to competition. So it makes only sense that Apple and Amazon will want to get the most market share for their products and show people that there is more than one way to stream or watch shows that you’ve bought.
Android’s are getting more popular!
With Android Devices being activated and having over 700,000 people using their devices according to a report Dec 2011, we can only assume the number is growing every day or every hour. As you can see we are seeing a growth in how many people have access to an Android device and thus it seems that we have no access on Android to have VOD from Amazon [Affiliate link]. We are seeing more and more devices that are going to be portable on Android in the near future and we already have a really nice portable device called the Nexus 7 [Affiliate Link], which I’ve heard is very popular because of it being light weight and very versatile!
Amazon Versus Netflix!
As Amazon competes with Netflix we are seeing that Amazon isn’t on Android but Netflix is, thus if Amazon want to get people to use their service they will undoubtedly want to draw people away from Netflix and make it available every where. I’m almost certain that Amazon is wanting to provide the best service available and thus will want to take over on the streaming front. In order to do that, they will not be able to get ahead of Netflix until they capture some of the Android Users who don’t have a Kindle Fire or who don’t use the Apple Ipad!
These are just a few reasons why Amazon will be looking to be on all Android Devices in the coming few months. I’m really not cerain as to when that will happen but I know it will be very soon and thus we only have to wait and be patient.
