My expectations are that:
Wifi-only eink readers will hit US$99 by summer.
Cellular wireless models will hit US$159.
Large format eink will hit $259.
LCD-based readers and webpads will run $99-199 depending on the touch screen.
Amazon won't put the Kindle name on anything with an LCD screen.
50 regional vendors will announce 200 readers and tablets, ship maybe 40, and together get 4% market share.
Sony will do about that well.
