Earlier last year, I predicted that Android will surpass iPhone in sales volume. The prediction was proven correct.

Now, I want to put forward another prediction. Android tablets will surpass iPad sales just like Android phones surpassed iphone sales. It may take a year or two, but it will eventually happen.
The reason is simple. The combined innovation of multiple players will eventually overtake one single company. As long as Apple's iOS remains a closed system, the result will be inevitable. The history will likely repeat itself.
When I gave the prediction last year about Android will surpass iPhone, I did not think it was a difficult prediction to make. But many many people were very skeptical about that prediction. With the Android's success, I have a higher confidence level about my prediction this time and I certainly think there will be less skepticism about my prediction this time around.
Let's see how things play out.
