Don't know if this was already posted. I don't feel like scanning through all 9 pages to find out.
Some pretty cool alternatives to the iPad, with feature comparisons:
Seven alternatives to the Apple iPad
Seven more iPad alternatives
I wish some of those had been hyped half as much as the iPad has been because some of them are, IMO, much cooler and more practical products. The only one of those that I'd heard of before today was the Adam.

There may not be an "i" in Team, but there is a "WePad"
WePad comes out of tablet hiding, reveals its €450 price and August availability
Also ... 6 more tablets are coming:
Archos promises six Internet Tablets this summer for hands of all sizes
Personally, I doubt the hoopla about the iPad will last like the one with the iPhone or even iPod

Man loses part of finger in iPad theft - Tech and gadgets- msnbc.com
You know, I have zero sympathy for criminals like this jackass. I hope they catch the guy and I hope he's elegible for life. It's amazing that someone would go to such trouble for this item. That in itself proves this guy is beyond redemption for life amongst polite society. Better he just spend the rest of his in jail.Fifty-nine-year-old Bill Jordan says he just purchased Apple's latest must-have item at Cherry Creek Mall on Thursday and was near the parking garage when a thief grabbed the bag tied around Jordan's hand.
He says the bag wouldn't come off and the thief yanked it so hard that it stripped part of Jordan's pinky down to the bone. Doctors later amputated part of the finger.
You thought you had finally had done something strikingly new and original, but it turns out that thousands of people already in the afterlife got there the exact same way you did. - Sagittarius

250,000 Points It would be one thing if it were really something important like a military operation, or a new skittles flavor. Apple takes themselves way to seriously. I look at those old photos of Woz and Steve. Woz has that geeky look you see where they are excited about something and giddy to tell other people about it. Steve always had what I call a superior smirk. He didn't seem to be excited about the tech, he was excited about the praise and esteem he could garner out of it. He looked like he thought he was the master of his own universe and everyone else must bow down to him. I still see that in his smile.

iPad lovers get their own chair!!!
Elite Home Theater Seating has come out with a dedicated iPad chair. The chair, which can be had for just under $2,500, comes with a dedicated holder for the tablet from Apple as well as a motorized recliner, "strategically placed lumbar support, elbow positioning and a seat cushion normally found in a European sports car,"
* And it does not come with its own iPad NOR does it massage
