I'd argue this point. While the iPad makes a very compelling ecosystem
argument by simple virtue of running iOS, it has been eclipsed in every
category from a technological superiority perspective. As an example, my
SGT10 has a more vibrant screen, larger screen, is lighter, thinner, and
provides roughly equivalent performance and battery life. Honeycomb (and
ICS) are, in my opinion, far more modern looking than iOS as well. I have a
work-provided iPhone4, and I find the interface to be dull and dated
compared to Android's latest, and the larger profile iPad exacerbates this.

Nobody else can compete with the ecosystem though, which is a strong
competitive advantage to be sure, but "nothing matches it" is...highly
debatable. With a reunified platform in ICS/Android 4.0, I suspect that
we'll see the ecosystem argument lose standing as well.
