Disclaimer: I've not held every Android tablet in my hands, so my opinion is based on general impressions of many non-Apple tablets. And I'm only talking about the bigger tablets; in the 7" space, Androids compete more with e-readers than the iPad. I just checked, and I had no idea that the 10" Tabs beat the iPad on weight. If it wasn't for the fact that I prefer 4:3, I'd be strongly tempted. And credit where it's deserved: Android 3+ is much better at tailoring the environment to a tablet rather than being a modified smartphone OS. Nonetheless, I can't really picture my mom using a Tab. That may be an unfair assumption, but that's part of my point: the Android ecosystem is not creating the right impression with its target market of people who are sick of their computing experience being computer-y. (And of course, the price issue is also huge for a luxury item like a tablet.)
