The competition can push the price down. I hope the Android Tablet will be a good alternative to the iPad because it is so expensive for a small entertainment device.

I hear your concerns on owning content and privacy & security issues within the cloud - all good points. That being said, this is still the direction technology is moving. Perhaps a follow up post with more opinions around content ownership and privacy is in order. Ken – thanks for the thoughtful comment.

However, as a old schooler, ie pushing 50, I have several comments. I don't completely trust the cloud to keep all my media safe and REMEMBER I own it and which device I can use to play it. I have this thing about Local Storage. Ie, I prefer a couple of redundant drives on my local network to back up my media. . I also like having my own disc in y hands. Much like we had LPs, Cassettes, and even 8-Tracks years ago, When you bought them, you owned them. No DRM, and no issue about what would play on what, If the tape wasn't broke or stretched, it played, No Problem. I know there was a lot of downsides to the old media, But the BIG upside was we owned it once we bought it. As it stands today, consumer rights are slowly being eating away, and they don't know it. The concept of Fair Use is becoming a joke. I have no problem with backing up my data in the could, But I want it in my control, and not having someone watching to see what I played and where, which is exactly the senerio you forecast, But I don't think you meant to. As for the IPad, I want one, I won't get it soon because There are more important things to spend 500.00 on like food and other of lives essentials.. I do see the IPad as a shift in the way people use and consume media, The biggest problem with it is Appl's wall garden, known as ITunes. As the summer and year move along we will see tablets bsed on Android, and Hp's Palm WebOS, possibility even a linux version. If theses are supported and have the applications to do what folks want easily, play music, tv, movies, surf the net, email etc, without walls getting in the way we'll see a whole new generation of personal devices To read more of my ideas on tech and media see my blog; http://kennethlawson.blogspot.com/ Interesting ideas, However this idea is being kicked around by many folks, including MS, Google, and others.
