One of the problems is price. At $1000, a tablet would need to be a mini computer that can integrate with my TV or my network seamlessly and do a host of other things. I think experts may be looking at the tablets as a glorified e-reader and web browser. If you throw in the app store and you can hook it into your TV/stereo, impulse buying could be huge for Apple there. Michael

I've been convinced for sometime now that Apple's goal is owning the living room, so I couldn't agree with you more on this point. What shocks me is that many of the so called "experts" have been quick to dismiss the tablet as having even a small chance at being a success. I think that they are completely wrong, but we will just have to wait and see what happens. “The tablet is not about revolutionizing computing, it is about taking over your living room, and your magazine and newspaper subscriptions.”
