Most likely good third party app support. A tablet that is only a web browser is a bit boring. People really like convergence. An Apple tablet that is a media player, browser, and runs games and apps is something special. No one has actually tried producing a tablet with native third party apps that fit the screen perfectly and are designed to interact with a multi-touch input system. Additionally if they have these rumored agreements in place with publishers they're going to be able to offer a much more visually appealing experience. As usual with Apple it's not any one thing it's just a bunch of small things that all come together in a nice package.
