It would be a great addition to apple if they buy them out and hire the engineers who helped create it.

he says "for the masses"

calm down. if you really read this and visited the source link, and all you see is that part, you have issues.

GPS on all models - Ipad 2 only Digital compass (no GPS on wifi-only models)

7000mAH 3.7V Li-polymer

HDMI Out

Flash

the list goes on

Ipad 2 = not near pefect.

Galaxy tab closer to perfection

I have to agree with you. The editor is saying that the iPad 2 is the closest to perfect for the masses, because it sells so well. But that is faulty reasoning. Apple has a big name, and while there are tablets that can cream the iPad, most people want it anyway. It is all they know...

you fandroids are so dense.

things like ease of use, intuitive software, stability, no lag, dev support, etc. can easily be viewed as more important than anything the other tablets offer.

Agreed ayephoner. He clearly stated perfect for the masses and I will agree 100% there.

If yo uwant to argue so much, say it. But which one is the best selling right now?

Not a fanboy of any sort, but I would argue that being "perfect for the masses" doesn't imply being the best spec'd. The thing about iDevices is that they're so strictly engineered (hardware + software) that they work almost flawlessly for their intended use (i.e. as an entertainment device). And they're very simplistic, anyone can use them! Even senior citizens without much tech knowledge. They just feel... natural. You don't exactly need to learn how to use them. That's why they're "perfect for the masses". Much like public urinals.
