Google giving up on Android for Chrome makes no sense.
Taking control away from other companies over the future of mobile phones is the biggest reason why Google released Android, a genius move nonetheless. It's the same reason why they have been paying shitloads of money to Mozilla, it's the same reason why they released Chrome ... to make Google's search the default.
And Chrome is nice and all, with Chrome OS being an interesting experiment, but the importance of Chrome pales in comparison with Android - their biggest success since GMail.
I also do not think Amazon will take over anything. The power of Android comes from being used by multiple vendors. That's the reason why Android exceeded iOS in numbers.
Really, what makes anybody think that Amazon can do better than Apple?
