Over the last few months, there's been quite a bit of buzz (and some unease) building around a new kind of fragmentation that's coming to Google's Android OS. Up until now, the primary way people have downloaded third party applications has been through the official Android Market, an online app marketplace run by Google that's analogous to Apple's App Store. But things are going to get more complicated very soon.
Verizon, which has been Google's biggest ally in helping Android get massive distribution, is launching its own app store. Amazon is planning to launch one as well, and there are doubtless more to come.
