on-par, I guess I couldn't say there are any. The iPad is on it's own level. It brings itself down in terms of hardware, and as a result, brings itself up on battery life and form factor. I also disagree that the iPhone innovated phones. Palm pilots, sony clie', those did that. The iPhone just made it sleek, modern.
The iPad hasn't kicked developers into making better devices, but, like the iPhone, have made them attempt thinner devices, modern, more usable ones...
Tablet PCs are generally thicker, and have worse battery life. They're also a hell of a lot more featureful, since they'll run an actual, full-scale operating system, as opposed to an upscaled mobile phone's OS.
