One concern I have is that the robotics part of things could become commoditized very quickly once some standard library interfaces start to emerge. For example: Microsoft's NTMS (NT Media Services) can provide a common interface for all library devices on NT. With that standard, storage management software vendors could write generictape library management software that works with any tape library. Other initiatives such as I20 will also add to this trend toward commodity tape library hardware in the UNIX space--though probably not as quickly.
