Yeah, how much room there is in the market for various tablet platforms is key.
The iPad is selling pretty well, so that's not going anywhere.
Windows 7 is kind of it's own beast--a tweaked PC OS will never be as slick as an OS designed specifically for smaller touch screens. And battery life will be lower. So I kind of think those will mostly fail like Tablet PCs always have as there just doesn't seem to be a big market for people who need a touch screen PC. But there may be for people who want a media consumption Tablet like the iPad.
So it's down to whether there's room for both Android and WebOS based media tablets along side the iPad. And if not, which one wins out. Money is on Android as it has a much large app arena than WebOS. But that could change if they really nail WebOS on tablets while Android goes the iPad route and doesn't upgrade their phone OS to be better suited for Tablet use.
