You would think any one of the multiple tablets released over the years would have done well instead of being a niche market then wouldn't you? Further wouldn't you say that any tablet would do well, if in fact it's about having the feature set you refer too?

I suspect that it's another status device like the Iphone.

RE: I suspect that it’s another status device like the Iphone.


It will be a status device like the cell phone in the late 1990’s, and then it becomes so ubiquitous that people shrug their shoulders and say — “who cares”.

Remember Gordon Gekko in the first Wall Street circa 1987 ? He had the first mobile phone and it was a status symbol (he’s rich and successful). Well, Wall Street II comes along and the first scene showed Gekko being released and his big fat mobile phone being returned to him. That drew a big laugh from the audience.

I would personally NEVER, EVER be the first to buy any new technology product that comes out. I was not the first to own an iPhone ( I waited over a year to even consider owning one ), nor was I the first to purchase an official copy of Windows 7.

I have never regretted WAITING while the fools in New York City lining up at 12 Midnight part their dollars to buy a buggy new product.
