With sales of the iPad 2 and the Amazon Kindle Fire breaking records over the holiday season, it might appear that the tablet market is becoming dominated by two devices, with the iPad at the high end and the Kindle Fire at the low end. Consider this: Research In Motion’s BlackBerry PlayBook is languishing, and HP’s late TouchPad is dead. Windows 8 tablets still aren’t here yet, and Forrester’s bet that they won’t have an easy landing when they do arrive. Is there room, perhaps in the middle, for other players?
