You're right. Personally I prefer Galaxy Tab over iPad. But that's just because of the form factor. And, quite contrary to Steve Jobs, I wouldn't count this (= display size) as an argument. For many users, this kind of mobility simply won't matter.
If I leave my personal usage pattern aside (which permanently changes anyway. For example I'll travel more frequently after the holidays, then mobility becomes more important again), iPad in combination with iTunes still does have some advantages.
Personally, I'm a collector. I'm not buying a single navigation app and use this, no matter what. I tend to buy 2 or 3, benchmark them, play around and switch between them (depending on my mood, my usage pattern, ...). In iTunes, usually I find what I want. Not always in the quality I'd hope for, but at least there some solution.
On Android, some of my favorites simply are lacking: Lots of offline maps, for example.
I admire Apple's business model. But in long term, in my opinion, the Android model will trump them. You either like iPhone/iPad or you don't. For Android, you have tons of choices: You can go for the Dell tablet or Samsung. Soon there will be dozens more.
And of course "Google" will be relevant. I've loved their features on iPhone. But on Android, their "home place", they offer way more already. And dominating so many niches already, this will be another huge argument for Android.
