I will happily compare it favorably vs the iPad for two simple reasons. 1. Better screen for what I'll be using it for and 2. more open and thus easier to make it work the way I want a tablet to work.
Will it outsell the iPad? No. To want this device more than an iPad? Very much so.
I can't believe anyone would compare this device favorably vs. an iPad. That's willful ignorance, I guess.
