Except the iPad was neither innovated nor new. Even for an Over-sized iPod Touch it looked like a ten inch android tablet by MSI shown earlier in the month to much less fan fare. It offers less functionality than other similar and cheaper tablets and way less functionality then a net book that cost less at the same time it lacks the simplicity of a true E-reader. 10 hour battery life is nothing. The whole time during the presentation I kept thinking Joojoo tablet oh but what that was even faster then this.
The A4 chip is nothing more then Tegra 2 without that Nvida graphics it should be similar in performance to Tegra 2 but that isn't groundbreaking or new.
More exciting tablets
The Dell Mini 5 it can do phone calls 3g/ 1 ghz Snapdragon lighter and skinnier then the Iphone. Open Source OS.
The HP Slate Runs a full OS lets you use real programs, true multitouch
The fabled MS Courier, Seriously that thing looks revolutionary.
But marketing goes a long way and Apple is the king of selling other peoples ideas as fresh an innovative. Just ask Xerox/Creative/Enterbrain/LG/Nokia/Oracle/Fujitsu and half a dozen linux guys.
