It maybe easy but the question is how many would go that way? Many times its easier to have another device just like many members here have multiple ereaders.

We'll take care of the software you buy for it."
There could be many reasons why they didn’t launch a tablet till now:
- There were not many operating systems for tablets supported by sufficient apps. In fact there were none except apple and Honeycomb seems to fill that gap
- Video and data download on the go need high bandwidth (3g and 4g can fill that gap)
- Interest of people in the tablets?

I guess its the timing of a product sometimes that gets people interested. Now most people know about iPad and kindle and they will take notice of any other tablet which combines the features from both of them.
