Techies drool but the market shrugs.
Foxconn could deliver a 10 GHz tablet with 1GB hard drive and a holographic display for $499 and the people who use their tablets for email and websurfing who say "cool" and keep on keeping on.

I submit that offering say... half a terabyte or two terabytes of memory is doable, and would drive another round of people upgrading earlier models. Processing power and graphics may be to the point where people have a hard time justifying a new machine but internal memory and removable storage is still way below what current manufacturing capacity could put out.
