Got my Kindle on Friday.
Can't play PC Engine games on it though.
Take it back.
Unmatched? The Motorala Xoom with Android Honeycomb (optimized for tablets) pretty much trumps the iPad in every department. I'd be very surprised if the iPad 2 will have half the features of Android Honeycomb. You're pretty much guaranteed that the iPad 2 won't have USB or an SD Card slot, which is unacceptable. Those are absolutely bare bones features on any media device and not including them is highly dubious. Just saying that the iPad isn't unmatched; in fact, Apple is going to have to really step up their game if they want to stay competitive in the tablet market. Even the Blackberry Playbook is a great alternative, if not better. I'm personally still not sold on the whole tablet wave, as my Android phone works just great for casual browsing.
Dude 
Up until this point, there really hasn't been any viable competition (in user experience) to the iPad (a friend has Galaxy Tab...it's OK, but is not a workhorse like iPad: battery is annoying, frequent reboots, apps for tab...not here yet). And, honestly, it is far too early to suggest that the mere feature lists of the Xoom or PlayBook (both look very nice) will actually amount to something substantial (Xoom has Android Marketplace, but I am not sure if the PlayBook, with QNX, will blossom or wither). We will see.
Meanwhile, for nearly an entire year already, our iPad has been an absolute joy to use. My wife got the iPad at launch and it has been used constantly (me, wife, daughter) in our household ever since. We battle over the goddamn thing. Naysayers can nay all they want, but, if you can afford it, it's a welcome addition to any household: easy to use for luddites/clumsy kids, far more convenient to use than a laptop for a majority of use cases, fantastic battery life.
I'd say reading/browsing, playing games, watching tv/movies, emailing/scheduling are the top use cases for the iPad in our household. We all have laptops at our disposal. 99% of time, the iPad is what we grab if it is available.
I rarely get to use the damn thing, which is something I've just had to accept

Oh, I wasn't trying to say that the iPad wasn't unmatched before now, or that people don't enjoy it. I was just trying to say that the iPad's honeymoon is over. The Galaxy Tab, although nice, didn't have an Android OS that was optimized for the bigger screen real estate. Android is really just as easy to use as iOS, and if there is a slightly steeper learning curve on Android that's only because it offers the user more options and customization. I've never really bought the "even my 2 year old can use it" argument. That's great, but I'm not a 2 year old; I want to be able to dig deeper into the OS, customize, and just fiddle. I guess that's what I like about Android - if you're just a casual user it's pretty much plug and play, but it also offers the user so much deeper end possibilities. For me, and I would guess many others, USB, SD slots and HDMI are not just mere options; those are deal breakers, particularly USB. I have absolutely no doubt that the iPad/iPad2 will continue to do well, but it's no longer the bee's knees in the tablet market. It's true that the Xoom hasn't been officially released yet, but it's safe to assume that Google has done their homework. The new application fragments not only look cool, but also look like a very practical use of the bigger screen real estate. Honeycomb 3.0 really is a totally new OS and not just an enlarged phone OS. Also, the Xoom is going to be just one of the Honeycomb tablets that will be released this year, though I'm guessing it will certainly be one of the better ones.
Here's a little preview on CNET of Honeycomb on the Xoom for anyone interested:
