Personally, I don’t think thickness matters all that much, as long as it’s under 10mm, and they pack a lot of battery inside to compensate for the thickness.

The weight on the other hand – I think that matters a lot. And I believe even 600 grams (iPad 2, Galaxy Tab 10.1) is way too heavy for a tablet. All such devices that you have to hold for longer than 20-30 minutes in your hand, should be around 300 grams, kind of like the Kindle. It will take a few more years until we get there (for 10″ devices), but that should be the goal, and they should continually strive to reach that weight.

Those marks on your hands wouldn’t really be there if it weighed less. Yes the marks are made by the thin edges but it’s the weight that’s providing the force needed to make them

Thin works, the weight is negligible. Besides, I have a preorder in for a new AppleTV as soon as it does 1080p.

The thinner, the sexier. What really matters is weight. The only tablet I’ve used is the Kindle Fire, and my initial reaction was that it was too heavy for extended use without a stand.
