Will The Tablet Be 2010's Must-Have Christmas Gift?

It appears the long rumored Apple tablet may be announced in late January and based on the alliance of major magazine publishers along with Apple's push to sign up television networks, this will be a content driven device (as will the many other tablets under development).

A recent Sports Illustrated demo suggests great potential for magazine reading on a tablet. And for golf, just imagine a magazine instruction spread including embedded video.

I'm curious how many of you see this as the way you may read books, magazines or even blogs in the future (connectivity questions abound, but we have to assume there will be built in wireless)?

So while I understand we have no idea how much connectivity will cost or even what the devices will run,I'd love to know how many of you have been tracking the tablet rumors and are you intrigued by them as a way to read your stuff in the future.

First, how much might you be willing to pay for such a device?

And probably most important to some of the media folks reading this post, what are you willing to pay for a magazine subscription and what's an enticing price for individual issues?
