It'll be interesting to see what, if any, effect the coming Android tablets will have on iPad sales. Perhaps there'll be plenty of market for all.
Also saw a rumor in the news today about HP's coming WebOS tablet having pen input available as well as touch, which will be a nice capability.
Apple will never ship a stylus.
If another tablet is going to be as successful as the iPad, it'll probably be the HPalm WebOS device, or a WP7 derivative. iPad's only a successful product because of the ecosystem built around it, as the countless tablet failures of the past can attest. Google doesn't have the will to make it work.
2 things here:
1. I doubt Apple will come out with multiple sizes of iPads. Maybe I'm wrong, but doing so seems to me like a slap in the face to developers.
Resolution is not the same as size. See: iPhone 4.![]()

I guess the Apple hype machine can overcome lack of function or purpose in a shiny gadget that is a solution for a yet to be discovered problem. Good news for Apple stockholders.
iPad is really just a toy.
Like a beanie baby or cabbage patch doll or tickle me elmo.
Only better.
You obviously would be very happy in a world where 100% of the tech products were Apple. No competition is just fine with you.![]()
