Yep, competition is great. I hope competitors do a really good job with Android tablets, WebOS tablets (HP) etc.
Not only will it give us more options, if some sell well it will put some pressure on Apple to maybe add some features like file management--or at least a robust, centralized file sharing system that all apps are required to access etc.
Somethings like Flash, a totally open app store etc. we'll never get, but I could get around some of those shortcomings if Apple fixes some of my other gripes in a 2nd or 3rd gen iPad and none of the competitors have matched the form factor, touch screen responsivity, battery life etc. Apple has set the bar high on those fronts.
