I doubt it. There are some interesting and well done Android tablets
about to come on the market. But most manufacturers will be cautious
about the success of the iPad. After all Apple could sell rebranded
Tesla cars for $250K and the designer gadget fanbase would mortgage
their homes and line up around the block to get one. So a manufacturer
does have to factor out the knee jerk reaction of Apple fans to figure
out what true market is there.

The iPad hardware is quite good. It would be difficult for another
vendor to put together a pad with the same large, capacitative touch
screen, fast cpu, plenty of RAM, and an excellent battery, and still
come in at a price point much below Apple's iPad. Apple has the
advantage of knowing they are going to sell millions of the things so
they get the best component prices. Selling a quality Android pad for
the less than the iPad would mean accepting lower margins and a good
deal of risk.
You could make an Android tablet with crappy hardware for a lot cheaper
than an iPad, and there are plenty of those.
