Few people seem to remember that Google didn't create Android -- they bought it. I'm not saying they could never have created it from scratch themselves, but there is something to be said about the innovation capabilities of a Goliath like Amazon or Google.

Yes Google purchased and has not done anything with it or invested into improving.

Few people seem to remember that Apple didn't create iOS or OSX from scratch. They bought it when they purchased NeXT.
