No problem. The OS automatically shuts down the process of any app getting 
reinstalled.

Also:

Well, I didn't know I could just open and install a downloaded APK from the 
browser. In the iPad you certainly can't just
download a IPA file and install from the Safari browser (in a non-jailbroken 
device). 

Don't take this the wrong way, but I think you'll find that many things are 
possible on Android which aren't on iOS. Speaking for myself, that's a major 
reason behind my choice of platform.
