Here's a another one: Multi-user!
Finally, a tablet where you can setup users with different privileges. You can setup accounts for the kids so they can play their games and not have access to anything they should not be able to touch. You can setup an account for house guests or for those occasions when you know you might be handing the device to someone who, as an example, should not be able to log into your Facebook or eBay account automatically.
Multi-user is also great for business applications. Take medical applications where the nurses have access to what they need and nothing more via user-level controls.
I think these guys are going in the right direction.
