Ha!  I know...
The points that resonate with me are the beauty of the display and the effectiveness of that virtual keyboard.  These are two issues that I predict the PC tablets will be worse at.  I've noticed that the apple displays seem to look better than other displays.  This is not scientific, just first glance kind of impressions.  But I've consistently noticed it.

Secondly, the virtual keyboard thing.  I haven't tried the ipad, but I've tried the iphone and various other non-apple virtual keyboards on phones.  The apple one is always much better.  I tried blackberry, i tried that big HTC one, and some other ones.  This is what Apple excels at.

All the apple-competitors need to really really pay attention to the little things like that.  They must, or they will continue to lose ground.  The PC people, what they usually do is put together a device that may have more capabilities than the apple, but they don't give these little things as much attention, and in the end, your day-to-day experience is not as enjoyable as the apple.  The PC tablets will have a more flexible OS (Android, Windows, etc.) they will have more programs that work on it, it will be able to DO more than the ipad, etc.   BUT...I will bet money that the virtual keyboard will not be as good.  That's my prediction.
