Digging into how tablets are impacting specific established product categories would be interesting, as it would help understand the impact that tablets are having beyond old-school computing use-cases to this point, and what other use-cases tablets might see success in the future. The obvious example is physical books, as well as medical. I am sure companies that are threatened by the encroachment of tablets into their markets are paying close attention. However, as many are assuming (possibly incorrect) that the tablet is the future of mass-market information consumption, I think it is important to understand why Apple has (so far) dominated the tablet market, and whether competitors can respond successfully.
