There never was a demand for tablets. The iPad created demand for the iPad, and in one of the biggest gaffs in tech history companies began pumping out me-too products to chase after a market that didn't exist. That's why Android tablets are failing, because no significant number of people want them, and never did. They want the iPad. Nook Color succeeded as a glorified cookbook reader/bathroom entertainment device since it had a price low enough to tempt the curious (or rooters), but ultimately all but a handful of technophiles and the people enamored with Apple's ecosystem realized that a tablet's good-at-nothing compromise is pointless alongside smartphones. At least as things stand currently.
Just a wild guess. Who knows.
