More bad news for Google and Android.</p> <p>Amazon's Kindle Fire now has 54.4% of the Android tablet market in the U.S., according to comScore. This means Google has lost control of the Android tablet market to one of its newest mobile rivals after just a few months.</p> <div align=&quot;right&quot;><img src=&quot;http://www.readwriteweb.com/files/bizinsider_amzn.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; /></div> <p>Amazon used the base layer of Android to build its own operating system. Google doesn't have its app store or any of its services on the Kindle Fire.</p> <p>Amazon isn't the last company to do this. Phone makers are planning on forking Android, making it more fragmented and ultimately cutting Google out of the loop.</p> <p>The success of the Kindle Fire is proof that you don't need Google to make a popular Android-based device.</p> <p>Silicon Alley Insider is Business Insider's flagship vertical.</p>
