So the iPad has a clear shot until then. Providing they don't have another iPhone-style fuck-up up their sleeve, of course.
Holiday season = so, 5-6 months from now. Good timing, Microsoft.

I half expected them to announce how they will corner the holiday season by shipping their competing products in February 2011.

Of course, with iOS 4 being made available around September/October/November, it'll be like a brand new iPad by the time December rolls around.

I love how you treat it as if the iPad is on borrowed time, until MS enters the market.

a) see above about iOS 4 for the iPad.
b) aren't there going to be Android tablets out by then as well?

MS won't even be in the running. Oh, sure, there'll be tablet products, and the they'll be able to claim they sold more than the Kin. Maybe.
