"It's really just a matter of time."

Is it though? Shipments don't equal sales.

Sure, you can put blinders on and ignore the last 3 years of identical arguments being tossed around, and the results of those 3 years of sales.

Yes, it is really just a matter of time... and of Android tablet manufacturers finding the sweet spot between features and pricing (which ASUS has with the Transformer but other manufacturers have been iffy with thus far)... but that too is just another thing time is already sorting out.
