  1. I fully agree with you that the year ahead will be the year of tablets, however I think that samsung tablet will remain at second spot after iPad.

  2. well the motorolla xoom certainly packs alot of power under the hood and wit the new Android Honeycomb, who know what run it would give the iPad. then there's d rumor of a new Samsung tab with 8.7inch dimension plus the 10.1 we know is coming to the market soon. so it's tablets all the way!
