I've wondered what their approval policy would be for competitors too.
Some good news exists, though I remain wary.
They'd be shooting themselves in the foot if they disallowed sideloading on their tablets, the very thing they're pressuring ATT to allow in order to get their store on more devices. I don't know what google's rules are for the andriod market, which isn't itself as freely available (though the apks make the rounds anyway) as the OS itself is. If they don't block its install, I wonder if they'll be comfortable enough to go ahead and ship the tablets with the market installed, and if google will allow it.
Personally, I already use the amazon app store more than the android market. If it were fully matured, I'd use it exclusively, though I haven't installed the newest market upgrade to try it out yet.
