I'm not sure about that reason either, and I'm an Android developer. From what I seem to be observing, the adoption comes from something more mundane - good price points. Android offers a "good enough" mobile experience for substantial cost savings. In India, for example (where phones are usually sold unlocked and carrier-discounted units are unheard of) iPhone 4 sells for nearly $800, and the highest-end Android phones sell for $500. Nearly $300 difference. Even iPhone 3GS is around $700. That's something you can't ignore, especially in a price-sensitive mobile market like India. I think this will continue to be a big part of the reason for Android adoption, unless Apple gets worried about something as unimportant as the world's largest but maybe least profitable (given how competitive it is) mobile market :)
