Agree with you mostly, but on the bolded.. its not trying to be. It also doesn't need to be to be a tablet. I don't think tablets need to compete with laptops and I think the mass consumer will agree in the long run as KF becomes increasingly more popular and other major Android tablet makers realize this and also down grade their offerings to hit these lower price points. But, that's an entirely different thread.

I agree whole-heartedly. I'm just saying that if a consumer wants a laptop replacement tablet (and here is where I think the tablet market becomes divergent), they won't get it from Amazon and there's a good chance they'll turn to Apple for it.

Even Apple has admitted that they probably need to offer a mid-market tablet some time in the future. Some tablets will be laptop replacements, others will complement them.


If we're talking about pre2012, yes mass majority who want high end would snag iPad. However, as Honeycomb finally offered a real Android tablet OS and ICS will continue that push in 2012.... we'll see Android tablets rise in popularity real quick.
