My hope is that it will initially do poorly; have the price lowered drastically (can we say wayyy below $400); add the much-needed apps which have been omitted; give the option of using as a stand-alone, non-tethered device; and implement the Android market (I would love to see Android apps finally run on a tablet interface which does them justice).
This could turn out to be one of those rare products which has a bad start, but later develops new life. (Remember, ebook readers weren't selling well until Mother Oprah gave her stamp of approval and they soared overnight.)
