Hello Greg,
So far, I have ruled out Apple, simply because it seems like the OS is the major reason to get an Apple - hardware-wise it seems to pale in comparison to the others. I also cannot wait for quad core, I have to buy now. Acer Iconia, Toshiba Thrive, & the Moto Xoom seem to really be the best. All have 'Honeycomb' and dual core. Still shopping...
