While this is one important aspect, I think what's interesting is not so much the GPU and what it can perform, but what it brings. The iPad2 may very well have a better, faster and more available "general purpose" GPU and I'm willing to accept that. However, when looking at tablet demos, the iPad2 seems flat and dull and the UI entirely 2d. Honeycomb on the Xoom and Galaxy Tab 10.1 looks awesome, spacious and full of action. If the Honeycomb experience looks better, more exciting, more advanced and visually appealing, do I honestly care about the GPU specs themselves when they bring nothing to the platform? Note: I do understand that a more powerful GPU allows more sophisticated 3D games graphics, but I just don't care. It's not that important to me, just like I don't care about 3d GPUs on PCs. As long as its powerful enough to drive the general user-experience I'm more than happy. Everyone may not be like me, but I suspect most are.
