Your statement is somewhat confusing

iOS is closed, but, Android is closed in a different way, and that is with the "cheap OS" and the massive head-start they enjoyed in development of apps,for about 3-4 years. People can be easily fooled into believing that, an Os is superior when the apps store has many times more apps. Thus, the mental lock-in.

Otherwise, Android is "more" open than iOs, and it will be easier to displace it in the marketplace by Windows RT and Windows Phone 8. It will take time, but, in about 3-4 years, Android will be a distant third to Windows RT/WP8, and to iOS. The winner in a competition, is usually the one that brings the superior product or skills, and not the cheapest.

lol, android is adding 1.3 million devices a day, and if sales continue at that rate will have over a biilion devices by years end.

you may be right, but i doubt apple ios will ever dominate like they did a few years ago. There are too many competitors.
