I don't know. I just think there aren't a lot of people who
need tablets in the first place, just like there aren't a lot of people who need dedicated e-readers. I don't think we'll see the masses chomping at the bit to watch videos and play Angry Birds on a large screen. It's mind-boggling to me that the iPad has sold as well as it has to this point.
I think if you make it a lot cheaper, more people will buy one, but I'm not sure how many more. Does it fill a need for anyone other than the ultrageeky?
