I think the ridiculous bit is that the author expects people to rely on legal content. Most young people I know either have an HDD full of ripped movies or a favorite illegal Flash streaming website. (In Europe - here in Taiwan, Apple doesn't even offer music or movies. Everyone uses PPS, which is available on the App Store and usually installed on Apple resellers' demo devices).

People with illegal content are sooo in the market for an Android tablet. The long-term problem will be to get them to upgrade to a second tablet. After you have this 10" screen that can be fed movies over USB, why ever buy another one?

Illegal media content works perfectly well on an (non-jail broken) iPad... or so I hear.

Right, but if all you care about is watching movies and reading Facebook and some PDF eBooks, then last-gen Android tablets are very competitive on price IMHO. And you don't have to deal with a 4:3 screen and iTunes.
