Yes, it does have nice specs. But there's quite a distance between announced specs and a relatively bug-free working device.
I don't mean to be a wet blanket; I like the idea of more power, capabilities, flexibility as much as Tim Taylor. But when I see announcements about availability of a device stated in "quarters," I always assume that means about a month after the last month of that quarter. That means July, 2012. And then I figure that it will take another 3-4 months of updates and bug fixes to deal with the initial release that usually turns out to be a beta test paid for by consumers.
All in all, curmudgeon that I am, I'm inclined to think this tablet may be ready for the next Holiday shopping season.
P.S. I work for a software development firm. I've seen this process from the inside and it's much like sausage.
