I think it's safe to say that at this point Apple can launch any type of product and it is nearly guaranteed to be a commercial success.

I look at the iPad just about the same way I did when it launched. It's a giant iPod touch with the same limited UI (important because that's the one thing you'll spend most of your time with over the device's lifetime). A lot of useful apps to be sure, but I personally just can't get over Apple's mantra of not providing options.

To be clear, I don't think Android tablets are there either. Maybe the Transformer 2 will be the one. I'm also looking forward to what Apple brings with the iPad 3.
 
I think tablets will continue to grow in importance. They are purely consumtion devices. I can see the need for laptops in corporations to go down to be replaced by a desktop or thin client, and a tablet issued to users that travel so they can access presentations and citrix back in to access documents ect. Makes traveling a lot easier.
 
Seriously, people?
