Not all apps have downloadable apk's from their web site. Mine don't for example. And apps that are not free don't (not counting pirate sites).
Motorola has their own store for the Chinese and Latin American market called Shop4Apps.
A special Market for tablets would be a mistake. One market is plenty. It already has filtering rules where you can say, for example, don't list my app if the user's device does not have a phone or does not have an accelerometer or does not have a large screen. So in theory you should only see the apps that work on your device.
Google is asking people to set those flags now, but human nature being what it is I don't think people will really do it until there are devices with the Market that don't have features that the app needs, and they start getting complaints about it showing up in the market on a device that it won't run on.
