You can talk to me all you want about flash and open source apps, but the fact that the iPad is just an overall stress-free, pleasant user experience counts for a lot.
Nobody can say Apple doesn't have its flaws, but they put high quality products out into the marketplace. Why do you think laptops with double or triple the hardware capabilities cost several hundred dollars? Because hardware isn't everything; Apple gets more out of its resources than every other manufacturer out there, and it is obvious to anyone who ever uses an Apple product made after 2006.

Have you played with a Xoom yet? Since it's the only ACTUAL Android tablet on the market, I would reserve judgement until you do.
I don't like its price, but it has a much superior OS and is better hardware.
The other tablets you played with have a phone OS on them ... now that Honeycomb is out there, you'll see the big manufacturers like Dell get involved.
Right now you have 2 BAD choices... a semi-functional device that is slightly overpriced. OR, a fully functional (in a few weeks) device that is way overpriced.
This summer will be the real shift...
