I've got iTunes stuff (just music and podcasts though, not apps). He doesn't.

The other thing to consider is that, if you've purchased things off iTunes for use with iPhone, iPod Touch, or even regular iPod, they will (probably) work on the iPad for no additional cost so long as you sync it with your AppStore/iTunes account.
One of the criticisms of Apple is that once you've paid into Apple products, you're stuck because the stuff just isn't portable to other, non-Apple, platforms. For those that have spent a lot of money on music and apps, that can be a significant problem that raises some anti-competition concerns.

So that's not a concern at this point, but I do have concerns about him getting sucked into the apple universe from this point forward
On the whole, I think you and he will probably be more satisfied with the iPad and it's demonstrated success rather than waiting and hoping for improvement in a product that, right now, is clearly inferior.
I guess what I was hoping was that it wasn't clearly inferior in the ways that matter to him and how he'll use it, but I'm thinking that just isn't true. Meh, maybe I'll just knit him a hat or something
If I do go with the iPad, I just have to decide between 3G/MiFi and which memory size to go with. And I have another good 2 weeks to obsess about it
Thanks for your help!

Has anyone played with/bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab?

Yes, I think you might be overthinking it a bit.

Let me echo the screen is much bigger on the Ipad (which is an assest and a curse)

Don't have any personal experience with the Galaxy Tab

Exactly, which is why I'd say the iPad is the better choice.
