It might have some success, but it's not going to be an iPad killer.


I don't think anything will be an iPad killer. Apple has a huge head start and iPad 2.0 will include things considered missing from the first version, like a camera (or two). That and the ecosystem of the app store will prove to be too much for any device to overtake the iPad.

Android tablets will no doubt make some inroads to the market, but I don't think it'll go like it has for cell phones. For one, the iPad is already hugely successful as a WiFi device, and I doubt Apple will make the same mistake with the iPad that they did with the iPhone -- allowing it on only one carrier for five years. I bet we'll see the iPad on multiple carriers within a year.
