You can only be too late if there is market saturation, that is from from the tablet space right now it is anybody's game.

There are numbers, they sold out the day of the launch. From a press release they only manufactured 10K because they did not expect to be so successful. They are rampping up to make 300K a month.

Asus success really goes back to the point I made in the previous post, they are truly the first Android tablet that listened to the consumer and delivered a product consumers want and value. So far all the other tablets expected to make money off of the success of the iPad.

Sadly the only other successful tablet is the nook and it has not been marketed as one.
