It seems to me that the major issue that Cardboard solved is navigation in a 3d environment. Using a mouse or controller to move around, aim, and shoot in a 3d world is natural to those of us who play 3d games. But, these actions aren't intuitive at all, unlike looking around while wearing a VR headset.

A few months ago, Amazon's competitor Flipkart started asking users to order via the app rather than through the browser. That's when a lot of my friends and I switched to Amazon. I never really understood the reason for insisting on ordering via the app.

Apps don't have a good way to convey that they are using HTTPS, so I don't like the idea of entering my credit card details in an app. Most internet banking gateways in India aren't yet mobile optimized, so that's inconvenient too. (Internet banking is a popular alternative to debit cards in India; merchants re-direct users to their bank's website where users can login and agree to paying the merchant. It's actually a lot more convenient than credit cards because you only have to remember your bank account's username and password.)

They seem to have run out of ips/servers and aren't accepting new users. So, I wouldn't host anything serious with them just yet.

How does Amazon implement instances like t2.nano? If there are 40 t2.nano instances on a quad core physical machine, what happens when all the users want 100% CPU, even if it's only for 10 minutes? Are instances automatically migrated to a different physical machine if this happens?

Where was twitch.tv hosted before the acquisition? Bandwidth on AWS would've costed a bomb.
