Hardware maybe ready or now, Samsung Tab certanately is a good example of proper designed hardware, however hardware isn't is number 1 problem - remember what Apple did to make iPad really shine - Ask EVERYONE to re-write their apps for much bigger screen, while true all old iphone apps working "ok" scaled on the iPad, it's not the same.
I strongly believe Google will have no choice, but follow same route. Google android isn't just ready for prime time yet. Unfortunately
