In this ZDNet article, Android's Andy Rubin hints that Google's Android OS could show up on internet tablets:
Q: What other types of devices that aren't exactly cell phones could Android enable or run on?
Rubin: The sky is the limit. This platform has been contemplated in different devices, from car navigation systems to set-top boxes to laptop computers and, of course, cell phones. One of our alliance partners, Intel, has a category device called MID, or Mobile Internet Device, which is somewhere between a cell phone and a PC. It's a large-display device meant to be primarily an Internet access device.
I take that as further validation of the internet tablet category - A large-display device meant to be primarily an Internet access device, without carrier lock-in.
