Amazon!I think amazon knows what it takes to challenge the iPad. Their success with the Kindle shows that it can produce a quality hardware product. Also, the fact that they've said very little about their plans suggests that, unlike HP they aren't going to release it until it's ready. And when it's ready, just like with the Kindle, they'll promote it on the front page of their retail site and provided that it's a good product and it gets good reviews it will take off.

Agree that our Amazon overlords have what it takes to challenge Apple in the post-PC era. Bezos has always taken price-competition to the bleeding edge of what can be accomplished. He's willing to lose money on a product to build marketshare, which is what it will take to compete with Apple.
