Amazon failed to build its own Android app store: it became evidence that Google was a monopoly
Prosecutors in the latest multi-state app store antitrust lawsuit against Google have found an odd victim to back them up: Amazon.

Amazon’s name is mentioned more than 20 times in the Google lawsuit, which aims to prove that even a well-funded and powerful tech giant like Amazon can’t resist Google’s control of smartphone operating systems. It is unclear whether Amazon has complained to antitrust investigators about Google’s behavior. Amazon has yet to comment.
