PDAs, Cellphones, Wireless Ah, the tablet computer. For over two decades now have companies tried to get the public to buy the darn things, and yet, despite all the efforts, promises, analysts, and even personal involvement by Bill Gates, they simply never took off. Recently, the tablet has seen renewed attention - but will they succeed now?

But seriously, I think that the biggest perceived market is for an entertainment device, that is to say essentially a multimedia Kindle, good for books, videos, and interactive online content (newspapers, magazines, blogs). As long as you can keep it price-competitive with the kindle and make buying books and movies for it easy (iTunes store) then you at least have the Kindle market to plunder.
