Google's platforms seem to be designed to be free. You are free to do whatever you want on them, but the overall use of them will drive up the usage of their core products. This increased usage of the core products will continue to drive the growth in an organic way. I don't know that there is any lock-in, Google docs allow you to freely export your files. This new Android looks to provide a browser that you aren't forced to use Google with. I really liked the Android announcement. Getting into the cell phone market directly would be a huge risk for Google, they do not have the expertise in the hardware and manufacturing business they would require. So they made the best move I have seen in a while, they decided to make the massive partnerships and develop a platform that they could leverage many phone maker's business.
