Just a couple things to point out for my two cents.
The iPad diagram does not show all the things available externally. People that get to know the company over the years know the features they want are usually there. There is no need in a diagram to point out that there are "internal antennas" "external speakers" "headset port" its expected.

With The TC110 you have a pen, jog dial, and programmable launch button. Apple showed in 2007 that the best input device for their multi-touch screens is your finger. The industry has adopted this HTC, blackberry. A lot of their phones with touch screens do not have pens.

Now as far as specs. Well lets just work down the list. Misinformation does no one justice

1. HD size ipad 16-64gb. The HP has 40-80. However the ipad is solid state. HP is a ata IDE @ 5400 rpms. (from what I gathered from the replacement drives available.

2. 9.7" XGA screen is incorrect. it is 9.7" LED-backlit glossy widescreen Multi-Touch display with IPS technology. Huge difference in the way you view the device.

3. Dimensions and I will add weight. The depth dimension is missing. Ohh I see why the ipad is .5" and 1.5 or 1.6lbs. The HP .8" thick & 3.1lbs.

4. Sound mono speakers. (can you tell a difference in stereo with something as small as a tablet) also (any speaker that size will sound like crap anyways) Its a personal device I prefer a good pair of headphones. However the ipad speakers are not bad.

5. USB & SD card slot is available on the ipad through the camera kit. (for pictures)

6. I dont need to talk about why there is no rj45 or rj11 jack lol. Wifi + 3G holla.

7. Video output yes.

8. Headphone plug yes.

Now the 7 years remark. The ability to create a tablet device has been out for a while. Apple was not the first to the market. They were the first to get it done right. An amazing mobile OS that is user friendly. Efficient processor, solid state drives, etc. It may not have everything that people want, but in my opinion it is currently the best solution for what it is. What I love is Apple increases competition, they drive the industry forward. You see HP coming out with a new tablet device and dell as well. Its just like the iPhone all over again. The iphone changed the industry from razors and slow *** phones. To the smart phone not being just a business staple but a way to change your life. If the iPad is not your cup of tea there will be other choices. When the iphone came out they said it was 5 years ahead of everyone. 3 years later people are just now starting to catch up. Be honest with your self if you have used a iphone and then went to go use one of the phones with the slow/choppy interface you see what they meant. However it has gotten much better. Its partially the tech that is on it. However it is more how it is packaged together. That is where everyone fails. Apple built a mobile OS from the ground up to complement the devices features not the other way around. I talked about innovation. Apple may have not done it first, however in the last 10 years they did show they were the only ones who knew how to do it right. 500k sold the first week I think the people have spoken.

Anyways don't wanna turn this into a flame thread that will go know here I just felt like some misinformation needed to be stopped.
