I agree to you saying its for a niche market, but disagree that it'll NEVER take off. I work in the GIS (Geographic information systems) field and MOST people who have people out on the field prefer Tablets to PDAs or laptops because of the form factor. Also the ability to use it as a notepad seems to be a hit with a lot of people. I do agree though, that the tablet hasn't caught on as a home device, but its preety popular among businesses.
