a functional cloud system (look at how the windows live and gmail stuff interact)
SD card slot (not a big feature but its better for artist and would make the ipad to a must by for college art students SD card + photogene =
)keyboard changes (i'm fine with the ios keyboard and hate swype, but its all about choice.)
ibooks being better (only a month in and google ebooks has more content.
notifications
widgets (not sure if people really use them, but again choice.
over the air syncing
Maps
and a few other features just to name a few.
$800, you just lost most of your market.
Your competing with a perceived "luxury" brand with a larger cost. Motorola still has that cheap $1 RAZR image in most minds, who the hell would pay a premium for any of their products?
Droid X/2 can't even compete with the iPhone at $200 subsidized (millions sold vs maybe a few 100ks), what makes them think they can compete an $800 tablet with an established Apple branded $500 one? Most people avoid Apple because of the price, by pricing it higher you just lost most of your market.
These heads over at Samsung & Motorola have to realize that they can't compete on having the best specs. They will end up killing off each other instead of grabbing market share from Apple. Release a $400 tablet with honeycomb, no contract, and a great superbowl ad and you have yourself a winner.
Lets pray for competition sake that Motorola releases this device without a contract.

Really? I've been happily using my iPad every day since I got it. What have you been doing these past 10 months besides stewing?
