In the slide show from eweek:

The slide show notes that the Apple iPad is the overwhelming leader in the tablet market (very true) - but suggests (like my last post) that Apple needs to be proactive if they want to keep that lead. The iPad 2 is a minimal upgrade to the iPad 1 - and the on-the-horizon iPad 3 is still unknown, but probably not 'earth shaking'.
Some of the suggestions include:

Some of the suggestions include:
- Price!! (The Kindle Fire is $199, the iPad is $499 and up)
- Improvements / innovations - if Apple can push the envelope, the iPad 3 could really push the other tablets into oblivion
- Size - the Kindle Fire is smaller - but that can be attractive (especially with the price)
- Quality - if Android tablets can continue to grow in quality, features (and a better price), watch out Apple!!
- ENTERPRISE, ENTERPRISE, ENTERPRISE - tablets are nice, but they currently are nicer for reading books, getting the news, email, facebook (and facetime) on a screen that is larger than a phone - but to really catch on, they need to be in corporate America - with Enterprise apps (can anyone say SAP on the iPad?)
- Integrated services - Apple and Amazon have great integration - with the iTunes store, apps store, etc - or with the Amazon services - cloud, books, store and more. Tablets need to have features!!
