I dunno. Did you hear Jobs rant on about 7in tablets @ the Apple financial conf. call a few week ago. He did not sound like a scared man.

Moreover, the problem any Android tab is going to have is that manufacturers are 1) able to incorporate one of many version and 2) modify them at free will. That means not every Android app will work w/ ever Android device. That is a prob. for users and developers alike.

Case in point, the 10 incher here runs Android 1.6. At the least it should come with 2.2 although Google has acknowledged that it won’t be until the next release that Android will be designed to run on tablets.

job's job is to stand on a soap box and sell liver pills... his rants have been proved false at times. Apple will lose this battle just like the Iphone has lost the battle. “droids are now seen 10 to 1 around these parts... bought one myself yesterday... and will buy a Windows 7 phone in the future.
