I have a feeling that the real competition for iPad will come from devices using the Android OS, for example the Dell Streak. The Streak is already available in Europe as a 5-inch tablet, but larger sizes will soon be announced. Dell's intention is to make Streak in a range of sizes to suit different people's needs. However, none of this is particularly relevant to photography. ;-)

Something like a larger Epson P3000/P5000 David
