It says more about Apple. They have a very proven track record (since Jobs came back) compared to most other companies in the industry. When Apple releases a product, it has a much higher chance for success then products from other companies. And the reason is because of how Apple operates. They don't take a scatergun approach to a market segment hoping for a few hits with tons of misses. They take a carefully aimed shot that usually hits the mark.

With all the rumblings about an Apple iSlate device lately, I think it's pretty much going to happen at some point soon. It's gone from generic rumors and speculation up to much more, similar to the lead up before the iPhone announcement.
