Four major competing tablet manufacturers, along with countless other minor efforts, have failed to gain the traction needed to register as much more than a blip on the iPad’s radar. One suspects that something else will be needed to dislodge Apple from sole ownership of the tablet market. Odds are perhaps 50-50 that can be done, based on recent history.
Nobody was able to prevent Apple from creating an "iPod" market out of what was supposed to be the "MP-3 player" market. But smart phones have not become an "iPhone" market. One suspects there is a fair chance Amazon might be the first to make a breakthrough with its Android tablet that will double as an e-reader device, and have access to the full Amazon content ecosystem.
