There is one very significant brand name missing out of all this ... Sony. While their cell-phone partnership with Ericsson is putting out Android devices -- The Xperia X10 just coming to market now and a very fine device it ... Sony's fine line of premium laptops is missing both the lower end netbook market and now the tablets too.
Yet Sony is arguably Number Two in the e-reader device market ... today. They may find themselves outflanked very quickly. I suspect the marketplace will be radically different in 18 months for all things portable over the Internet -- phones, tablets, netbooks and less reliance on desktops and even home TV.
