That's for sure.
But at the end of the day all that really matters is whether a device suits your needs, whether you can find the applications you need at prices you're willing to pay etc.
I couldn't care less about whether it's open or closed, how easy it is for developers to work for etc. As an end user, that's not my problem. I care whether it fits my needs and budgets. If it does, great, I'll buy it. If it doesn't I'll wait for something it does.
I'm in the latter for the iPad still, but much more tempted than I thought I'd be as it came much closer to fitting my needs than I thought it would. I may still end up with one if the Android tablets aren't anything special. But will definitely wait and see.
