The iPod,iPhone not iMac (not the same level of success) were all much better than what you could get from anywhere else at the time of release.

The iPad doesn't have a form factor as good as the Courier nor the features of the Slate. Apple is actually facing competition upon release which is why I cast doubt upon the iPad.

 

No way. When the iPod launched there was a ton of criticisms about it. I don't even know where to start there was so much. The same goes for the iMac and the iPhone. Do a google search, it's there.

I know they were criticised, but the critics have also learnt as well.

Whats the point in an E-reader where you cannot even finish a small book before it runs out of power?

I still don't see any business use for it, the Courier and Slate do that aspect better.

It still can't multitask, so no music and IM, or music and web browsing at the same time.

With the iPod and iPhone, seeing was believing, but people are already familiar with the interface and OS so question the need for something bigger. This isn't out of left field unlike Apples other offerings and it can already be compared to what is available or what will be available shortly.
