Will Amazon make a tablet? 'Stay tuned,' says Jeff Bezos
Bezos acknowledged the popularity of reading e-books (many of them sold by Amazon) on tablet computers such as the iPad. But he added that this popularity doesn’t spell the demise of the Kindle. “We will always be very mindful that we will want a dedicated reading device,” he said.

Then last September, MG Siegler of TechCrunch posted an interesting tip that Amazon was working on an iPad competitor.
AdMob does not break out which tablets were owned by the users, but the survey was conducted in March this year, at a point when Apple's iPad accounted for the lion's share of the tablet market in the US – although Samsung's Galaxy Tab had also been available for a few months. The survey found that 38% of respondents spend more than two hours a day using their tablets, while another 30% spend 1-2 hours.

The real problem with magazine iPad apps | Econsultancy
Prior to the launch of the iPad, many magazine publishers hoped that the iPad might do for them what the iPod and iTunes did for digital music: provided a viable marketplace for them to sell their wares. Operative word: sell. Getting consumers to pay for content has, of course, proven challenging for many magazine publishers.

Web developers can rule the iPad - O'Reilly Radar
One recurring theme in defense of the closedness of the iPad is that it gives you access to the web and that's the most open thing around.

iPad reveals Microsoft Tablet PCs as flawed. What about Google?
First a disclaimer: Apple’s new iPad didn’t meet expectations, either mine, or the folks who I’ve been talking with on Twitter. If my friends who work with or for Apple and in the press hadn’t built it up as mind blowing it wouldn’t have been disappointing, but this was a case where expectations got too big and what showed up didn’t meet them.
