I think this is the most relevant piece of info here. AustinChief has been saying throughout the run of this thread that the iPad killer is just around the corner, and just wait till this next release, and so on. And while I agree that better tablet tech is to come eventually, consumers obviously aren't that patient.
Better specs aren't worth much if they don't translate into a smooth user experience.
I'd really like more info on the Honeycomb shortcomings though...
