Give it 2 more years and we will have the Ipad being only a minor player in the tablet business. Apple will still make good money, of course. They just won't be a dominant force.
I think two years may be optimistic. I've been really surprised by how weakly tablet makers have responded to the iPad - the Galaxy Tab seems decent enough, but it's expensive (costing as much or more as an iPad while having a smaller screen)...and there's still no wifi-only model. Maybe things will change with Honeycomb. But I think that the real issue is whether iPads and iPhones are more like computers - in which case Apple will drop down to second place - or are more like the iPod and other "appliances," in which case Apple may become dominant.

And I don't think we know the answer to that question yet.
