Why not?

In the near future, virtually all mobile devices (MIDs,tablets,netbooks,notebooks,eReaders...) are likely to include smartphone electronics (3G, GPS, accelerometer, compass, etc.), for the simple reason that there are a lot of great apps that can be built to leverage it. The ability to make phone calls & send SMS is likely to become important, as well (especially for mobile operators).

Since most/all smartphone OSes already support the smartphone hardware, it's not that much of a stretch to actually run smartphone OSes on them.

Thus, why not a webOS/Android/Symbian/iPhoneOS/WinMo/Blackberry tablet?

Hopefully, mobile devices will evolve to become "standard/open" platforms, like PCs, so that people can buy the particular hardware device they like and install whichever OS they want on it.
