Don't forget, you can't hit a homerun if you don't swing for the fences
It’s Apple, they’re trying to hit a homerun. That doesn’t mean they won’t strike out, but make no mistake that they are swinging for the fences. To create a bland tablet in the image of those that existed before it would be the equivalent of a bunt with no one on and two outs.

With all the discussion about tablet yes, tablet no, let's not forget the basic part--Apple is taking a huge risk with a tablet (if all the rumors are true). But this kind of risk is the only way to hit a homerun.
Similar case in point: Gillette Mach 3. Years and years in testing. Disposable razor market eating their lunch. Gillette swung big, swung hard and ... now how many of you buy a razor with only two measly little blades?
