The Internet as a whole is altogether unimpressed with the iPad. I have tons of Applebrain friends that own every generation of iPod, an iPhone, and a Macbook, and even they're all thoroughly unimpressed with the iPad.
The iPad is, after all, quite literally an oversized iTouch. This isn't a matter of opinion. This is factual based on the technical description of the iPad.
As a result, it may have been a bit forthright, but arrogant? No. It really is ridiculous, overpriced, and overall unimpressive.
