> We're talking about the Apple that is trialing a 7" tablet, right? The one that talked up "4 cores" at the 3rd generation unveiling? Same Apple? I may be biased here, because I visit apple.com frequently but I never bother with the announcement videos. I don't care about Apple's market metrics, and I didn't care about quad-core. As far as websites go, apple.com/ipad shows me lots of useful stuff. Safari has a reader mode and a read-later list. There are great apps on the store, for education and whatnot. iBooks can do this and that. Everythings syncs and gets backed up. And this is already their most technical release in a long time, the first two iPads were heavily marketed by simply showing apps. The first Google result for Toshiba tablet's is http://www.thetoshibatablet.com/ http://www.thetoshibatablet.com/. It only mentions hardware, except for stating that it runs Android 3.1, without any explanation of course. That is why these spec announcements get ridiculed all the time. If either company were to ship their devices with genuinely awesome bonus apps, ones that Apple hasn't nailed yet, I doubt anyone would point their finger at them and laugh.
