I would challenge the notion that Android in aggregate will outsell Apple in any product category due to its "open" nature.
From 2004-2008 the Digital Audio Player market was synonymous with iPod. Apple had and still has ~80% market share. Even now can you name one credible Android device that competes in that market?
Android has made excellent inroads in the mobile phone space because it is free, carriers need a strategic answer to iPhone, and have subsidy power to shift market share.
It seems to me that in the tablet market, where consumers bear the full price of the device, that the dynamic will be more like that of the iPod than iPhone. I wouldn't be surprised to see Apple have 70-80% of the market long term.
