I'm unclear what constitutes a 'fork' though...if Amazon goes without the Android Market, (replacing it with the Amazon Android App Store) but otherwise provides a full Honeycomb experience, plus full hooks to Kindle, Amazon Video, Amazon Music,etc.) ...does that count as a fork?
I don't think they can sell a device and not give users access to the Android Market. That would bring the wrath of the fanboys and possibly even Google down on them. No, they'll sell it with both, with their own market being the 'preferred' destination.
