That is a huge oversimplification of the situation, and your conclusion is absolutely false. There are lots of third party applications available for Android, and they are already opening up Android with SDK access to the underlying OS, not just java. ...And "all Linux applications available" is a flat-out lie. The overwhelming majority of them have to be ported - with considerable effort - in order to work on the small touchscreens, and *all* of them have to be recompiled for the architecture at the very least. It's not a matter of being able to just pick any random Linux application and immediately install it on your tablet. "Plug and play" it is NOT.
