Yes, you're right. I've found the tech specs now.

Thickness: Ekoore: 24 mm; iPad: 13.4 mm.
Weight: Ekoore: 1 kg; iPad 0.68 kg.

They're cagey about the Ekoore battery life... can't find that...

As you've said elsewhere, and which I agree with, it will be interesting to see how the new Android tablets compare when they arrive.

It's been interesting digging into this as it's given me a different perspective on the iPad. The cleverness of the device seems to be derived more from what they've found they can leave out while still delivering the desired features, to bring down the thickness and weight, and increase the battery life, than in anything particularly revolutionary that they've put in.
