Amazon is already headed down that path. They've already blocked several competing apps, like Netflix and Nook. It's hard to say what they have in mind when they release their tablet. Will they lock it into their ecosystem like Apple does or will they allow access to Google's app store and allow Nook and Netflix on it?
I would certainly anticipate that an Amazon tablet would be locked to the Amazon ecosystem. I very much doubt that Amazon will be in the business of selling general-purpose Android tablets. If I want to use a general-purpose tablet, I have my iPad.
