Apple is clearly targeting the general consumer with the iPad. Motorola, HP et. al. seem to also target this segment.

Who's left?

There's tons of money to be made over generations of devices (by virtue of being adopted), and I bet that Samsung knows it -- RIM exploits this characteristic. Differentiating the Tab sizes is a brilliant move as they have an in for the enterprise without compromising the Tab brand.

Were I a CEO, this would make a compelling solution.
I agree.. and it's a very smart move. Business NEEDS something like this--and this is RIGHT up my alley. THIS is where I like to live--in the business solutions biz. I think Samsung is clearly becoming a driver for Android now (as if the move from HTC-made devices to Samsung-made devices for the Google flagship phones isn't indication enough).
