really? there is integration? last time i was looking up tablets (the real os kind, not the 10 inch screen or less kind) was with an xp tablet. bur what it would take for my to buy one now is a wacom screen tablet.
that said here is my prediction.
ios will fall, mainly due to competition
microsoft will surprise everyone, with its introduction of a real os in a tablet.
and whoever gets 2 screens, 1 lcd and 1 that e paper type will win collage section and if amd makes a great apu (is that what they are called) with a sub 20 watt, that can play games at 720p at playable frame rates, and decent graphics settings, windows tables will get a bit more bulky to accommodated a bigger battery but we will have full "gaming" tablets.
apple cant compete there, well, they can, but they wont. there is still not 1 game on ios that is really worth it. infinity blade, while impressive visually, is an over all boring game, and thats really it for the time being.
