hmm... well I get the impression that there's enough horsepower under the hood (A8+512MB), software implementation would be the deciding factor (and whether you get satisfactory PDF battery life). I'm glad about the 512MB of ram, one of the main reasons why I'm holding off on the iPad is waiting for more RAM to handle 4.2 and any future expansions of multi-tasking abilities (more background tasks maybe).

I do hope for more detailed reviews soon. I wonder what kind of PDF viewing options we'll get.

Engadget complains about the software's responsiveness, but it didn't make them hate the device, which makes me think it's not really that bad. From the video they posted (which showed a lot of device functionality, much appreciated) it doesn't look so bad, some rough edges that shouldn't be there, that's all.
