I would still go with the iPad for one reason. The Apps.
The iPhone model, along with the iPads, has given many developers imaginations a much needed jump start. The app store on iTunes is filled with some impressive games and tools. Interfaces are receiving a much needed overhaul, and applications that were once thought of as boring are now interesting, and fun to use!
The iPad also has a future I can see continuing on for sometime. I have nothing to assure me though that the Sony Dash will get support, updates, and new 'chumby apps' after a year or 2.
