v3 of the iPad will kill. Apple historically gets v1 about 80% right, then dials it in from there.
HP slate will be a non-event. It's the OS, not the hardware.
You can't have your cake and eat it too. Apple devices have become a closed platform because that's how they ensure a consistent user experience. It certainly has downsides, but I can't really complain about my iPhone, or my last couple MacBookPros. In fact I don't even own a desktop computer anymore. I do everything (including video editing) on my MBP.
I'm still waiting to see how the iPad shakes out. I am beginning to see a place for an eReader in my life, and the prospect of being able to resize text and have some degree of notation and interactivity makes it worthwhile to me. We're also moving a lot of our training content to the iTouch because that (handheld device) frankly is how you're going to learn/train over the next decade or so. Buh bye, textbooks and printed manuals...
