Could This Be The Gadget?

I'm on record in one of my New Worlds entries for saying that, in my humble (and hopefully correct) opinion, "We are one well-made reading gadget away from seeing a rapid change. Look at what the iPod has done for music -- there were mp3 players before the iPod, but its popularity and eventual price drop made it as ubiquitous as TV's. If e-readers ever hit a regular price of, say, P5,000, or even perhaps P10,000, we just might see something as revolutionary for reading."

I really do feel that we are just generations away from this, and I'm talking "generations" in a gadget's lifespan, so we know how fast this is going to be. We all know the speed at which technology evolves.

Apple is rumored to be coming out with a tablet "as soon as a month from now". Could this be that gadget?
