Yeah, some of those requirements can be met today. There are a few players with Profile 2.0 and 7.1 analog outs (I think at a MSRP of $399 for both, the Sony BDP-S550 and the Panasonic DMP BD-55 are some good relatively inexpensive [for the feature set] examples, I'm sure somebody will correct me if I'm wrong).
The wireless thing I think can be addressed with I think what's called either a wireless bridge or an ethernet bridge (not really sure what it's called :P, basically a device that you connect to the ethernet port of a device and it can connect to your router wirelessly).
And the load times shown for Vantage Point are quite long because it is a BD-Java disc, which always take longer to load (other examples Ratatouille, Transformers, Iron Man, etc.). The PS3 is a friggin monster of a computer, that's why it can load that fast, and I think it'll be a while before standalone BD players can even match the speed of the PS3 so your expectation is a bit unrealistic.
One more thing, is that 30 seconds realistic? Does it include the time needed to open the tray from OFF?
The Galaxy Tab 10.1, much like its Limited Edition sibling that we reviewed last month, is ever-so-slightly thinner than the iPad 2, a slate that most sane individuals (and competitors, for that matter) would confess is the market leader today.
