Like smart phones and point and shoots, iPads can compete or best the consoles on hardware specs while absolutely whipping them on platform flexibility and portability. I don’t know the console equivalent of on-device photo editing — but between app, accessory and peripheral support for iPad, the consoles have their work cut out for them (Kinect was a good start, Playstation Move was not).
I don’t know if it will ever happen, but this was a good read.
