I suspect Steve Jobs was right when he said that multi-use devices will win out over single-use devices. Let's just hope that the tablet will have an easy-to-read screen and a good battery life.
The only reason I want an eReader is because of eInk. Backlit screens make my eyes go wonky and I stare at one for eight hours ever day at work any way.

I figure I'll pick which eReader by December 12. Analysts say the ball is in Amazon's court after the announcement of the Nook but I say the Analysts are full of it. B&N must address the cost issue, the gift certificate issue, and the number of titles issue before launch of they lose and Amazon retains its market leadership.
