Amazon Pushes Ipod Clone After Launch Of The iPad

Amazon pushing iPod clones to upset Apple.

Its no surprise that Amazon isn’t too pleased with Apple at the moment after the launch of the iPad and the iBooks store, both of the new Apple products compete directly with Amazons own products, namely the Amazon Kindle eBook reader and Amazons own digital book store. Amazon finds itself in a bit of a dilemma because although it now sees Apple as a competitor, Apple iPods are one of Amazons biggest selling products.

That was until today when we noticed that Amazon were sending prospective ipod buyer to iPod clones products... this blip seems to of been rectified but it begs the question, was it deliberate?

If you search for "MP3 players" in Google UK, Amazons top result (including paid-for listings) directs users to a page with iPod clones and not one genuine Apple iPod! Is this Amazon getting their own back or just a coincidence? It seems odd that the best selling MP3 player isn't Amazons priority on such a lucrative search term.

Heres what Googles results look like for the term Mp3 Players
