I just updated my iPhone and iPad to iOS 4.2.1, and then jailbroke them, I'm happier than ever with these things.

who cares what marketwatch says.. it's what First Call/Thomson culmination of analyst ratings and how they perform against expected that matters.

From one article:

Sometimes you have to tip your hat at your opponent and tell them, "Well played." Usually, however, those or similar words of mutual respect are saved for after the fight, when there's a clear winner and loser. Samsung isn't waiting. With Apple having announced its iPad 2 on March 2, Samsung had some things to say about Cupertino's next generation tablet, essentially admitting that Apple once again has set the bar and it's not going to be easy to hurdle.

Personally i'm looking forward to Rims product. As far as pricing? Although RIM has kept mum on pricing, CNET Senior Editor Donald Bell speculates that the PlayBook could start at $500 and cost up to $1,000, if unsubsidized by a carrier. But since it hasn't arrived like it or not Apple is still the leader.

E61Silver is an unknown quantity at this point
Apple has a clear lead in the Pad segment and the Ipod 2 seems to offer a number of refinements and improvements.

I am sure that with time the others may catch-up. If I was going to buy one today the Ipod 2 for $500 seems like the way to go but I still don't see a need unless you travel or commute on mass transit. I guess you could bring one to business meeting. It would be good for a senior that just wants to check email and play games. Over time the Pad has grown in purpose and use. I still think a large segment of Pad buyers have it to be cool.
