ALL,
first a statement, Apple has done a masterful job of marketing. This is a Jobs legacy that hasn't gone away yet. The iPad at 499USD (Wi-Fi) is good strategy. It has kept the other tablets at bay though now I believe they have caught up.

Believe based on what? Their inferior specs? Higher prices? For all the posts you make slamming Apple users for being morons, you seem to have absolutely.no.knowledge of the actual Apple products you accuse people of being stupid for buying.
Seriously, which tablets do you think have caught up?
And why is it so hard for you to accept that people buy Apple products because they are actually better, and not because they are better marketed?

The main problems with Apple is usually the costs and even more so the cocoon that they wrap their customers in with that iTunes store. I should even go further and say it is a straitjacket.

Again, complete lack of knowledge on your part. The difficulty roughly comparable tablets have competing with the iPad is that they *can't match Apple's price.* They are too expensive. The iPad is cheaper.
I don't know any different way to say that.

I don't think that new display for Apple is worth upgrading. i.e. exchanging 1 500USD tablet for another, though if you can excuse your exchange by giving the tablet to a friend or relative, or even selling it to someone for near 500USD then I will agree that is reasonable, for you do get a new warranty. But 4G is a cost trap.

Yeah, everyone is going to have to decide for himself about upgrading, and a lot of that will depend on how you use your tablet. But since tablets are basically all screen, that's a pretty important part.
But there are a lot of people who don't have a tablet at all. And if they are interested in a tablet, the iPad is something of a no-brainer.
