What happened to RSS readers when Google Reader launched? The general concept of competing with developers seems like a dick move on Google's part, but you also can't expect them to NOT put out apps for their main products. That said, however, Google does have it's name behind it's app but that also brings about high expectations, which they usually do not deliver on. The reader app, for example, is crap (it's got a 4 star rating which I don't consider good for an official Google product). I used it for about 5 minutes before uninstalling it and going back to NewsRob. Compete with Google the way you compete with any other app - make a better product that's worth using and paying for. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TreKing <http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking> - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
