Insiders are pretty certain that Apple will release a tablet in Qtr 1 of 2010. Familiar with the current state of touch display technology with razor-sharp resolutions, such a tablet device driven by OS X is going to be a very, very impressive little computer. And that's what Steve Jobs has been emphasizing when comparing it to "dedicated" devices like the Kindle. He believes that people want integration, they want all-in-one type devices that are multi-functional, like the iPhone.
I'm pretty omnivorous when it comes to technology and, loving my Sony Reader as much as I do, I have no problem getting an Apple tablet if the price is right. Now that the Sony Reader software is Mac compatible, I can easily see myself reading Sony ebooks on my Apple tablet as well as my Reader!
