This is going to be a protracted and complex tussle and Google will join in. Doesn't look as though there is going to be an iPhone app, but the Amazon Cloud Player for Web will presumably work fine through any web page...... Safari has a role.
Are we laying odds on the outcome? I think of the web as the mat on which these wrestlers are having their match. Chances are that the web wins in the end. The audience are the audience.

P.S. The man in blue may look like he is going to lose. But that was not the outcome.

But at this point I'm wondering if a good future bet isn't Amazon. I like how they've thought of monetizing this, how they've integrated it, so far and their history with cross platform. Like you, I'm not jumping on today, but I sure am going to be watching it closely. I continue to be impressed with Amazon...
