Not only is there no free magic Android tablet, customers don't have to worry about carrier lock-in. I would guess some non-trivial portion of the Android customers on T-Mobile/Sprint would have rather have an iPhone, but they can't because they are part of some family plan/etc.

For a US-centric view, this may be true. You know the stats for the rest of the world?

IPhone is not locked-in to a specific carrier unlike in the US and Android has the largest smartphone market share worldwide.
