Yesterday I wrote about the upcoming Apple iSlate and its potential to dominate the eBook market, but for entertainment it could do even better. A 7″ screen playing video could be the near perfect compromise between portability and a viewing experience which makes everything before it feel like a let down. The market for portable video players has already been decimated by the iPhone and iPod Touch, but the iSlate could take things much further and quickly become the perfect accessory for flights, holidays and any other occasion where the need may take you.

Apple will stamp the entire setup with a huge iTunes library, a beautiful hardware build and playback quality the others can only wish to emulate. Because it is a tablet video playback will feel like a major feature and strangely everything could be major; whatever you want to use it for is what the tablet will be to you and only Apple can make it work. I am trying not to sound like a fanboy because I hate the way Apple just wins over and over again, but credit where it is due.

The iTablet could become a wireless portable TV for millions and deliver video like never before. Just one more area where the iSlate will dominate. Tomorrow- gaming and the rest…
