I dunno. I think a gargantuan manufacturer like Samsung could pose a bit of a threat to Google if they were to start seriously pushing their OS over Android. They control the majority of the smartphone market, and I somewhat doubt that the only reason people buy their phones is because of Android. If their OS proves to be good enough, I can easily see Samsung becoming the new Apple in the smartphone market, if not even bigger.
Of course, that's unlikely to happen if their OS turns out to be shit.
