Apple has had superior marketing and sales but they certainly weren&apos;t the first to use a touchscreen display.  How many ways can you make a device with a touchscreen display?  Can you imagine if this happened to TVs or computer monitors?</text></comment>

Both the Xoom and the 2.0 Galaxy look nothing like an iPad &apos;in real life&apos;. It&apos;s like comparing a Vaio to a MacBook, only the form factor is the same.&lt;p&gt;(I have no idea about the new Galaxy but I suspect it&apos;s the same - EDIT: by &quot;the same&quot; I mean different from an iPad)</text></comment>
