Just like early adopters of the iPad using a majority of iPhone apps to hold them over the same will go for the Android tablets.
I don't disagree. But if one wants to put up a check list of how great a not released tablet is going to be compared to one that's been shipping a year -- might as well be complete.

Even with 3,300 apps at launch, it certainly felt like there weren't that many apps. iPhone apps did run, but they aren't nearly as nice as apps built for the iPad.

The experience for early adopters of Android tablets is going to be far worse. Flash -- not even ready yet, and it's one of the big reasons for getting an android tablet. Sure it has a memory card slot -- but it's not working yet. 4G? Not there yet. And you'll have to turn your table back in for a couple weeks when it does become available.

And, like you said, we all know that a lot more Android 3.0 tablets are coming out soon too. So....one might as well wait a bit for the Android tablet market to become more "baked" before jumping in.
