		<description><![CDATA[This article doesn&#039;t tell the real story.  The truth is, Amazon is taking shots at Google because Google came directly at them with the Nexus 7 tablet which is a media consumption device that&#039;s more powerful, faster, smoother, less restrictive, thinner, lighter,  with better screen resolution than the Kindle Fire for the same price.

I own both devices. I also DID NOT have to load all of my songs to the Cloud Drive individually.  Before this change with Amazon&#039;s Cloud service, I was able to Drag and drop ENTIRE FOLDERS of songs into the Amazon Cloud icon on my desktop tray, only limited to my Cloud Player&#039;s storage space (5GB&#039;s of which were free).

Amazon has shafted its customers in this war with Google by NO LONGER allowing us access to ALL of our music from the Amazon Mp3 app without us having to pay an additional $24.99.  They did this knowing customers would switch to the Nexus 7, the Mp3 app was already available and to ensure purchase of Mp3&#039;s directly from them.  I say additional because I&#039;m also an Amazon Prime member (Pay $79/year for this) and I also can&#039;t access any of my Prime loaner books (the kindle app won&#039;t let you) or Prime Videos (no app for this) from my Nexus 7.  HOWEVER, with this new Cloud Player announcement, Amazon also announced that they have created an app that allows iPAD users to access Amazon Instant Videos from their iPADs.  One would think they&#039;d offer this for Android first given that the Fire runs on Android 2.3.  I think this is a BAD move for Amazon.  Instead of retaliating at the expense of its customers, it should encourage competition by continuing to create great products at competitive pricing.

I am going to CANCEL my Prime membership and switch completely to and grow with GOOGLE if they don&#039;t start thinking of their customers!]]></description>
