They don't want people selling cheap knockoffs as "Android tablets" and hurting the brand. That's why they can and do deny access to the Market and Google Apps to low standard devices. And why they've refused to release Honeycomb source yet.

My point is that cheaper Android tablets are what's going to make their market share explode. I am willing to only count "sanctioned" tablets if you want... it won't change the final outcome... it may only push the figures back by a month or two.
