I find that surprising. One would think they would want all the exposure they can get.

Yeah... I bet the logistics of setting that up are tougher than we think. It's easier for some companies because they already have the infrastructure set up for it: Google has YouTube and Apple has iTunes. Samsung and others have to go to third party or partners/competitors to get the job done.

Yeah, but Amazon has one of the largest cloud infrastructures in the world. You mean to tell me that they couldn't provide a media streaming event for their fabled phone. No, this was just not great thinking on their part.
