The more I read about the display, the more confident I am that no one else is going to have anything similar over the next 12-18 months. I see that the highest resolution 10" tablets are currently 1280x800... I don't see them even moving up to 1920x1080 any time soon.

The iPad is unbeatable It's extreme, but I think pretty fair and accurate. The iPad is set to marginalize all other products the same way Microsoft did with Windows.

Slightly off topic, is why Apple continue to beat the poor AppleTV with the hobby hammer instead of doing the same thing there as they've done with the iPod and iPad. The iPod didn't achieve dominance by being first. It didn't do so by limiting its playback support to a single source of music. If Apple tried, even a little bit, to make the AppleTV so much better than everything else out there, I think it could become a legitimate income source.
