Well i think it is reasonable to assume that the iPad is going to cut into the sales of large-screen devices. Up to now if you wanted a tablet-format device with a large screen for reading PDFs it would be a Kindle DX, an iRex device or something similar. Now people might think "if I'm paying that much, why not just get an iPad?" I think the iPad limits the market at the high-end, even if it doesn't directly impact the low end.
