This app store fragmentation is going to be bad for both devs and consumers. In the near future, there is likely to be at least 3 separate marketplaces (Google, Amazon, Verizon), with certain apps only appearing in certain app stores on certain carrier networks.
Want the Skype app? Oh, that's only available in the Verizon store over the Verizon network.
Want some other specific app? Oh, that's only on the Amazon store, which Verizon may or may not allow you to install in the first place.
