    We seem to be going backward in specs as we go forward in time :)

    You are ignoring lot of good features of ipad, for the starter battery life of 10 hours, what about the weight differences and the details about how hot the HP tablet used to be etc... don't forget what a pain it is to use the stylus to really operate, resistvie vs capacitive touch screen. prices diff, I assume it used to cost more than $2k when that tablet was released. Not sure whether the HP tablet has wireless and bluetooth, but ipad has both.

    You get video out put from ipad.

    @Sripathi Yep - It's not just the hardware, which Apple has going for them - it's also the App store eco-system which made it a brain-dead decision for users to extend their devices :)

    This was to poke fun of some apple fanboys who were touting the cutting edge hardware on their favorite device :)
