I'm not convinced that they can crank out a webOS tablet before the second generation iPad arrives. At that time it will be too late. While it seems reasonable not to ship a table with Windows 7 this may just as well have been a deathblow to the Slate altogether.

> At that time it will be too late. The HTC Dream came out after iPhone 3G, and Android seems pretty alive on phones yet. The slate market won't settle in a year.

I'm not convinced that they can crank out a webOS tablet before the second generation iPad arrives. At that time it will be too late. I own a 3G iPhone, but Apple's recent moves and policies around the appstore and their platforms has made me choose Android for my next phone. I simply cannot support a company like Apple and the direction they are taking computing with my money. For that same reason, whoever comes out first with a more open tablet PC while still having a nice finish will get my money. Whatever happens I'm definitely not getting an iPad. This, ofcourse is just me and my opinion, but it seems Apple has provoked quite a few people lately and with Android and other alternative platforms catching up (even Winmo!) I see Apple losing momentum here. It might be unwise to underestimate Apple, but I say it would be unwise of Apple to underestimate the (continuous) PR-disaster the iPhone and AppStore has been to them the last few years.
