I'll tell you something else. I have done some traveling this summer, a trip to the midwest, another one down to CA by plane then then on the train from Oakland to Paso Robles - flew back out of Burbank. I also ride public transportation downtown to work everyday. I have seen one 7" tablet over the past year. It is the only non-iPad tablet I have seen. I see iPads in use every day on the bus to work. I see them every time I travel - on planes, trains and automobiles.

I'm not seeing much sell-through to consumers of these mythical Android tablets.

I do think that Amazon has potential - but just as nothing has killed the profits of the iPhone, which have gone from 50% of the total cell phone manufacturer profits, nothing is going to kill the profits of the iPad. Apple is alone among mobile manufacturers in terms of having a high profit, high margin business model.
