Amazon Blocks Video Streaming On BlackBerry Tablet, Blames Apple 128
AZA43 writes "Amazon.com has blocked its Instant Video streaming service on BlackBerry PlayBook tablets, in an apparent effort to make its Kindle Fire device more attractive to tablet buyers. And it says Apple is the reason why it blocked the service. But the company hasn't blocked comparable Android tablets from streaming Instant Video, and Android tablets hold a much larger portion of the overall tablet market than PlayBooks. Amazon will likely succeed only in alienating customer with PlayBooks who have already purchased lots of streaming video content."

Yup, that single customer is going to be really really upset about this. Good thing it doesn't affect more people.

Indeed. I hear both Playbook owners are absolutely livid about this.

Well to be fair the second guy has not got word to us yet, still trying to find his Blackberry so he can get an email out about his fury.

Since it only makes sense when you replace Apple with Adobe, then yes, you can assume they meant Adobe.
You might want to look up what "assume" means.

So... pretty much like every other customer service email from any major company that asks any sort of question more complex than "Where do I click to [insert action here]?" Just saying.
