Take this same poll in a Barnes & Noble store, or a library and see what the results are then... they'd be just as skewed as they are now since it's posted on a "gadget" site.

What kills me about this debate is the e-ink readers are here today and the new revolutionary tablets are nothing but vapor-ware at this point. As much as I'd love to see an Apple Tablet and understand what angle Apple has figured out that revolutionizes the space - there's something to be said for shipping.
As Mike says, All-In-Ones make several things, but NEVER done as well as One-In-One device...

The Apple Tablet IS supposed to be just a large iPod, Mike.... And perhaps with the addition of an OLED display (wishful thinking) we can have it all in one!
