This is my first tablet, so do not have much to compare it with - however, I have come from an Android phone and I prefer Android to the iPhone - hence my decision on this tablet. This is largely a view first impression.
When you turn it on, I had two firmware updated to make one for the tablet and a keyboard - it only lasted 5 minutes.
Screen mesh on the keyboard was a little scary, but after reading the manual, and found the catch release, slotted with a satisfactory click. The keyboard is actually very good. It was the fact that the keyboard has led me to get it, because it is much easier to write documents, emails, etc. Once attached, you get additional benefits too, as double the battery life, access to 2 standard USB ports and a standard SD card slot. You can also put a microSD card on the screen itself, so that during the journey, you are not limited to taking a few movies, you can literally take a handful with you.
Since I have an Android phone, after connecting to my wi-fi and a session with my Gmail account, all applications that are used to, self-discharge. On the website of Google's market place, the device appears and you can choose the applications and sent to your tablet through the air, as can be with the phone - however, I noticed that some applications do not are available - as the need for speed (which would have been great on the big screen) but I'm sure it will be ported soon. Unlike the iPhone applications that run on the iPad into a small box in the center of the screen, Android applications have been ported to the tablet, still look great because the whole screen of all space forms and content of our agreement.
Surfing the Web is a great experience. I'm just using the stock browser at this time, but with support for Flash, sites like the news site of the BBC complete with video on the page, so I realized you do not redirect to mobile page ... eg Facebook, so you can get the entire site, which has always bothered me a bit on my phone.
For more related job applications, comes with a variant of the Office, which seemed to open the 2 MS Word documents I tested (2003 and 2010) and kept all formatting, including tables, bookmarks, images, etc. The keyboard nice work and do not think it will become a problem - it seems strong enough and does not feel any different than a laptop keyboard.
In my role as an IT nerd, I hope that I can take this with me at the hotel and the hook on the servers serial port via USB or via Bluetooth sockets and serial supply systems (with the built in telnet client) without the need for a flat rate full-sized laptop with me.
I have not really used in anger yet, but it covers everything I've wanted to do with it so far. I had a die hard Apple fan moaning screen switching is not as smooth as the iPad - but the iPhone has always been smoother than Android phones. It seems that Apple has put much effort into the animation, they forgot to make it compatible with anything else. (Did I mention bluetooth? :))
I do not know if there will be a 3G version, but I'm happy to use the phone as a wireless access point if I need the network while I'm away from home.
So in summary - if you are considering an iPad - then you really should think of this as an option. If you are already a user of Android - that is obvious.
