Don't care. I just know that I've found something that works...and I recommend it and the iPad to others who wanted a mobile device to keep up with the documents that my group uses.
If someone demanded an Android solution, I'd go into the store with our docs and try them out until I found one. But people don't care...when they see it work on the touch and the Pad thats good enough.
You don't sell tablets and cell phones the same way you sold PC's in the year 2000.

You can't try out all future uses and situations you will encounter in a few minutes in a shop.
Yes, I agree that the manufacturers are trying to change the game and not sell tablets by specs (or even by obscuring specs). And it is a rather dishonest way of doing business. Sort of a second hand car salesman's technique. Specs matter, because performance will depend on them. (That doesn't mean that lousy software couldn't make good hardware perform sub par, but it better specs will mean better performance under normal circumstance -- comparing several Android tablets, for example).
