I have to agree with avichal. I look at it more like JC Penney/Ross/Marshall/etc. All of the stores have distribution and pricing models. That does not mean that the clothing industry is fragmented or that Gap will suffer.
It is a good thing for Google that Amazon sells more Android powered devices. It helps them that more people are online. Regardless of how many apps are sold or how easy or tough it is to install etc - the fact remains that the web is way more interesting and easy to navigate than an app.
As long as they can get you to the web...through any mechanism possible - they win.
