Of course tablets with a touch friendly, full featured OS haven't sold well in the past. That is because no such thing ever existed! They had some bulky and heavy compromise versions out there, with extremely short battery lives that also ran extremely hot.

Nobody expected a full OS from the iPad? Then where on earth are those price estimates of $1000 coming from? Not for a huge iPod!

And yes, I mentioned the AppleTV because there are a lot of people out there who do believe Apple can do no wrong.
