Gadget Lab relays a comment from Eric Schmidt of Google claiming that an android tablet will soon be available to compete with the iPad. I think this is great. I am convinced after spending a few hours that there are opportunities in this “space” and the quality of all boats (or tablets) will likely rise with some competition.
I hope the emphasis is on improving the media production capabilities of the device rather than offering another ebook reader/web browser. Not sure I see this in the Gadget Lab description. It almost looks like the defining device is the Kindle and not the iPad. However, it seems unlikely to me that Google would think Amazon and the Kindle are the competition.
