berbs:seriously?? They were pushed to the wall, they had to fight back. EU are just a bunch of ungrateful Mou fuckers. I get that they were shading off competition, Buh Android is their baby and the pre installation of those apps was part of the license agreement. 1 Like |

martineverest: Lol, bundle them and replace them with what OS ? Symbian, IOS or Microsoft, new Linux based OS?. As it stands now any attempt to squeeze more fine out of Google by EU, due to major market share of android, they simply charge Samsung EU, Microsoft, huweii and most European manufacturer. |
Re: Google’s Android Apps Are No Longer Free by martineverest(m): 7:54am On Oct 19, 2018 |
Wezem1:that license agreement is what EU is trying to attack..they use that agreement to stifle competition.which is anti competitive.thus preventing other service providers from bundling their apps on android |
Re: Google’s Android Apps Are No Longer Free by Wezem1: 7:57am On Oct 19, 2018 |
PhenomenalMorgan:first of all, don't confuse closed source with selling the license to the software itself. Google can decide to sell the license to the OS today, but what they can't do is make it closed source. They are not allowed to. |
Re: Google’s Android Apps Are No Longer Free by martineverest(m): 8:00am On Oct 19, 2018 |
iammo:u don't understand it...they aren't replacing the OS but Google apps like YouTube,maps,playstore,Gmail,search etc..it's from those apps that Google make money from android.... even if they charge OEMs on playstore usage,Google will never get more money from charging OEMs when compared to bundling those apps on android..thus Google will lose more revenue.thia will help Samsung browser,Microsoft edge browser,bing,office,outlook mail,Yahoo mail, etc rise....Samsung will also costimise Thier android without google |

Wezem1:if Google licence android OS,they will start paying Microsoft Billions directly, as android was built on Microsoft's parents |
Re: Google’s Android Apps Are No Longer Free by Wezem1: 8:05am On Oct 19, 2018 |
1zynnvn:What are saying?? First of all Android itself might be open source, but most of their apps aren't open source. Secondly the new license is for EU only and last I checked, it's illegal to download a cracked in most EU countries. If you want the cops at your door step, u can go ahead and try |

Re: Google’s Android Apps Are No Longer Free by iammo(m): 8:09am On Oct 19, 2018 |
martineverest:you really need to read what google plans to do to counter this move, in simple terms; for every devices sold with android os without google services (chrome etc) the manufacturer would have to pay a fee, (similar ways bill gates Microsoft earns from all PC manufacturers worldwide), google holds the Legal right and patent over android and they decides who gets it free and who pays what. However even if manufacturers strip their phones of google service from factory, users can still download gmail, google chrome YouTube etc by them self 2 Likes |

PhenomenalMorgan:Android is based on Linux which is open source. |
Re: Google’s Android Apps Are No Longer Free by martineverest(m): 8:18am On Oct 19, 2018 |
iammo:it's not the OS,it's the playstore especially.....android OS indirectly belongs to Microsoft as it's built on Microsoft intellectual property.thats why android OEMs pay Microsoft $5-25 on every android solid.... the EU fine is on Google apps not android OS.google made android free for OEMs by bundling it with its apps.with EU new law.oems will pay Google b4 using playstore especially hi and read OHA agreement btw Google and OEMs |

martineverest: my friend that sees the future of Google and Microsoft while the former is gonna die soonest the latter will release new innovative products(they are yet to do that for years now). Yes, Google is did just that and they are having a taste of their own medicine and all these will be corrected with Fuchsia, the OS will be ready for public use by 2020. |
Re: Google’s Android Apps Are No Longer Free by iammo(m): 8:31am On Oct 19, 2018 |
martineverest:First thing first, android is based on Linux which is 100% free and open source https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_(operating_system) Secondly I even use google services on IOS (gmail, YouTube, ) so what stops EU users from downloading the needed services on to their custom android ? Lastly it's established that two of google owned services (search engine and YouTube) tops world wide traffic drive, what makes you think unbundling some core apps would stop this massive traffic

udemzyudex:IOS is not a real competitor to Android per say. The iPhone may be a competitor to Samsung and Huawei but we're talking of operating systems here. The iPhone is only about 15%-18% of total phones sold worldwide. Android phones have a market share of over 80%. |

martineverest:Google app suite is the best in the market infact that is the main attraction to the os.....a lot of people including me can't do without Google apps... Even iOS folks install Google apps |
Re: Google’s Android Apps Are No Longer Free by SEGLIZ: 9:00am On Oct 19, 2018 |
udemzyudex: get it clear iOS is still an Android os but that it is not an open source, it locked down for apple unlike other smartphone manufacturers (tecno, Samsung, etc) that uses the open source. the deal is apple pays for using the os. |

ollah2:fuchsia can't be ready by 2020... latest 2022.where are wear OS, Chrome OS ,android iot,AR suite?fuchsia won't succeed my brother..... recently,Google have been riddled with privacy invasion . it has become source of worry.currnetly ducksuckgo has seen a huge surge because Google search is overly invasive...Google cloud,Google suite, Chromebook etc are gradually decreasing because of fear of Google invasion....2 years ago,alphabet market capitalisation was almost twice of Microsoft,but now amaz on and Microsoft have overtaken Google.thats to show that Google future is hanging just as Facebook.....Google and Facebook have been trampled by EU GDPR law .states like California, America's biggest economy has enacted new laws to curb Google's invasion,other states are about to follow... Donald trump is also investigating Google.u know what that means |

SEGLIZ:ode ....how is iOS a close sourced android?.iOS is own by Apple and pays no one..android is Linux,iOS is Unix,windows is Windows.....they are all different. android OEMs pays Microsoft for using android.cos android is built in Microsoft's patents |
