Of course, if Apple announces a tablet worth a damn at their shindig in a couple of weeks it'll be moot cause I'll be canceling that order and quickly going out to sell blood to raise money for the thing.
So assuming Apple announces a tablet (big if) and it'll be out this summer, and announcing it's essentially a giant iPod Touch and let's say most the app's stores stuff works on it like the Kindle store and Stanza, etc...
If you're planning on getting a DX, would you cancel? Trade in the joy of eInk for the enormous extendability of something like that?

Can't remember where (I think CNN Business/Money) - but I did read an article last week stating that Apple had announced 2010 as the earliest launch for their tablet, and that Amazon rushed its DX announcement to lure people into pre-orders - anything definite in 2009 beat a promise in 2010. And to establish a pricing point for Apple to deal with.
