Amazon is the real threat to Apple, not Samesung or Google. Sammy and G don't have everybody's credit card numbers - Amazon does. Google's hardware (via Motorola) is perpetually D.O.A., while Sammy doesn't get software and will be forever dependent on Google for Android.
Amazon on the other hand has already forked Android successfully, and their hardware is doing great (for the price). They'll have no trouble displacing Samsung and Google in the increasingly commoditized smartphone market.
I'm not sure what will happen when Amazon completely cuts Google out of its forked-Android phones. I am sure that Android will go down in history as a classic example of a company being hoisted by its own petard.
