YES!
Apple's tablet/slate (if that's what the announcement turns out to be) will sell more units in the first year than all the others combined. If it's a large screen iTouch iPod with a longer-lasting user replaceable battery, connectivity with papers/magazines/books and applications like the iPod - I want one!
But whats-his-name, Apple's boss, said nobody read anymore. So, it will not be a device with ereading in mind. Yes, it might be possible to use it for that purpose, but it won't be a major function. It's just a tablet computer.

And it might sell more units than all the others combined, but how many of those units will be used specifically for reading?
