I think the problem is, is that these devices are always too expensive to just be mass-market toys. If Apple could pull off making this a family-friendly, kickstand-havin', coffee-table-sittin', etch-a-sketchin', internet-surfin', remote controllin' TOY for around the house, it could be a smash. Of course, Apple would price the thing way out of the general public's fun budget and it would turn into a piece of pseudo religious iconnery for the cult de la jobs.

I think something like this would be a great home companion for a device like the N800. I'm guessing it would have BT mouse and keyboard support- which would make it an ideal second computer for more business-oriented tasks.

Still, the apple tablet will probably end up being the $2000 equivalent of a giant Ipod touch, which will do nobody any good.
