Gmail is a f'n bloated pos now, and Android wasn't even Google's product. They simply bought it.

Your point was that Google hadn't put out anything that had beat anything.

I countered with two products that dominate their respective fields. I thought you had simply forgot about them. It turns out that you have a weird resentment towards Google. This leads me to question your intent. Are you an Apple guy?

LOL...the list of failures is bigger than their successes now. Now, the successes are bloated pieces of crap now. It's not my fault Google has this , "Oh it will work because it we are Google" attitude.

Android is pretty much the MS story of how they made it big, except the owners actually got credit and are still being paid.

And no, I have an Android phone and my MP3 player is a Zune. And, actually, I do not think Android is better than iOS. Infact, I do not own a single apple product anymore.

I don't think either one is better. I think they both have their place. I am also really wanting a Zune or a Windows phone so I can try out Zune pass.

I hadn't got to twist your goat in a while. You may now return it to its full upright position.

Google music lets you upload FLAC. Amazon doesn't. Win = Google.
Google's music store purchases are 320kbps MP3s. Amazon are 256kbps. Win = Google.

Google music transcodes any FLAC you upload to a 320 kbps mp3.

Amazon mp3s are also not 256 kbps CBR they are -V0 LAME VBR mp3s. Google doesn't win in either of these fields unless you really want that 320kbps silence.
