Ah, the perennial prediction of an Apple tablet...
I truly wish Apple had a tablet, but I couldn't afford it now anyway. Still, if the form factor were somewhat like an iLiad, maybe just a bit larger, with a high-speed display, pressure-sensitive input and HWR, I'd be sorely tempted. I don't know as it would make a very good ebook reader, though. It's likely to have a backlit LCD display and hence would have poor battery life, even compared to the iLiad. I need my "universal device" to stay functional all day without being plugged in.
