[QUOTE=Canary;22348707]There's also the fact that the architecture is much newer thus is much faster and that picture is like comparing a 3.2Ghz P4 to a Core 2 that's 3.2Ghz[/QUOTE]
newer =/= faster. The only difference is that the iPad is running ARM-based instruction sets, and the HP TC 1100 is running the more standard x86 instruction set, used by all Intel and AMD processors.
The only full operating systems you could run on the iPad would be ARMbuntu (which is still on Dapper, it would be acceptable if it were Jaunty or Intrepid, preferably Lucid, but it isn't) and a few other small linux distros.
On the TC 1100, it would be (theoretically, hardware on both devices would make it unlikely) possible to run Windows 7, Snow Leopard by hackintoshing it, or a vast majority of linux distros. And multitouch can be emulated in ubuntu and windows 7 as well.
