Maybe there is a tablet market afterall!

Until very recently, I thought there was no such thing as a tablet market. There was the iPad market cradled between the laptop and the smartphone market, and that was pretty much it.

Sure, there were other tablets, some were actually OK (like my Asus Eee Pad… once I got used to it). But none of the stuck. None of them seemed to go anywhere.

But gearing up for the holidays we have the Nook and the Fire, both of which come with compelling, integrated ecosystems. The hardware/Android is probably good enough for consumer to give the iPad some competition.

What? Competition… doesn’t that mean there’s a market?
