Media Tablet Q&A: The Low Down on the Canadian Market

I had a chance to chat with Iain Marlow from the Globe and Mail this week about the media tablet market in Canada and its expected impact on the tech sector. Our Q&A session can be found at the Globe and Mail Website.
Questions include:

• Why or how has Apple succeeded with the iPad?
• You say tablets don't have to be an “iPad killer” to be successful. Can you elaborate on that?
• What lessons can we bring to tablets from the ongoing smart phone wars?
• It's a nascent market, with Apple being an early mover. What do we know about the tablet market so far – who are using the devices, what they are using them for?
• Others, such as Research In Motion and Samsung, have announced their own media tablets.What do you make of these competing products and how do they differ from Apple's?
• What sort of impact do you expect media tablets to have on software vendors?
• What sort of impact do you expect media tablets to have on other device categories?
