I have played with my friends iPad 2's and just got the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. I think it's fine and now I prefer it over the iPad.
It's so much lighter which means I can be "that guy" who takes movies and pictures with it. It uploads to Google+ automatically and then I can choose to share or not. One of the big barriers to me sharing meda with friends is my laziness in taking the time to upload each file. This takes one step out of that process: I just leave a note and choose to share it or not.
The 16:9 form factor can be awkward for reading eBooks. I actually prefer that form factor overall because when I type in portrait mode I don't have to move my thumbs as far to type letters.
As for the apps one thing that I found is that due to the way Android apps manage layout instead of doing a simple pixel multiplication the applications scale fairly well. While there aren't a lot of pretty tablet-specific apps in the Android Marketplace at leas the apps are usable on the full-screen. I really appreciate the information density as opposed to running in an a small emulator.
