I think this remains to be seen.
I have an iPhone, and an Android phone, as well as an iPad.
At the current time, there really is no Android tablet. Sure, rumors abound, but ground is being conquered NOW with the iPad.
The Android phones I've used have been nice, but the whole iPhone user experience, from app-store to interaction, just feels "cleaner" and more efficient to me.
The content providers will go after whatever space provides them the great profit. This is mostly a factor of user-base exposure in terms of users who actually purchase things, not just raw handset numbers. The Economist would take 60% of a $1.00 subscription from 200 Million users over 99% of a $5.00 subscription from 5 million users (just making up stats to make a point).
If Apple can deliver the users and the dollars, plus create a whole fully-integrated elegant content-delivery subsystem, they'll win this market. If they can't, they'll lose it or share it with Android, WinMo7, etc.
One thing about Apple though, they do not appear to make random sporadic decisions. They seem to price things with much consideration, factoring in their position, value-add, and what the market will bear.

If Apple had different categories of content that required different rates, I might be able to see that point. However, this looks like they just said "let's get our 30% from subscriptions as well".
