Beyond that, Ice Cream Sandwich unifies "phone" and "tablet" apps (a distinction that already makes much less sense in an era with large, 720p "phones"). That completely changes his inferred dynamics of the Android app stores. I think the Android Market and the Amazon Appstore (and GetJar and Handango and ...) and direct sales from developers will happily coexist for the foreseeable future.
