I have a feeling they will be buggy at first and way overpriced .. even for the corporate market.
I haven't double checked the figures but I have heard that iPad is down to 57% market share now... which is a pretty big drop but it looks like my prediction of 15-17% market share won't be realized for awhile. If the current rate of decline holds steady, then we are looking at under 20% market share in 5 more quarters. (I only have 4 quarters left on my bet.. 3.3 really, but the figures come out 1 quarter behind) The only real wildcard might be Windows 8.

Funny follow up on that.. it's all about price... if you look at the figures, even the Playbook had an almost Touchpad-like jump in sales after they slashed prices.
