The Gloves Come Off in the Battle Between These Tech Giants
The following video is part of our "Motley Fool Conversations" series, in which, Andrew Tonner, technology editor and analyst, and Austin Smith, consumer-goods editor and analyst, discuss topics around the investing world.
In today's edition, they discuss how eBay recently countered Amazon.com's attempt to undercut traditional bricks-and-mortar retailers through its controversial "Price Check" app. eBay announced a deal designed to counter Amazon's assault on retailers. Andrew and Austin weigh in on the implications these deals hold for investors going forward.
eBay, Amazon, and other Internet leaders might gather a lot of investor attention, but the truth is they're playing second fiddle to an even larger revolution in technology.
