The iPad is an expensive toy that will sit on coffee tables if you want to quickly surf the web for a bit. Typing will be painful, and holding the table tiresome. The keyboard requires you carry more equipment around, and the stand doesn't allow the angle to be adjusted for viewing while seated.

Think how do you carry a paper notebook or book around? You can use a bag, or just carry it with your hand. You do the same with the ipad. And this thing is so thin, I can just put it in my laptop bag with my laptop.
Like I said in my post. It isn't a replacement for your computer or iphone. The thing only has like 256mb of memory...why would you want it to multitask or run full osx? And apple isn't stupid, they wouldn't want this thing to cut into their macbook or iphone sales.
I am sure they could have made it even more powerful, with cameras, run full osx, multitask. But you know what will happen to the price? Yes goes up. Just look at the newton! It was soooo cool and expensive at the time. Where is it now? That was a niche product. Lets just say if I had to buy my grandparents a computer to surf the net and do some email...I would get the ipad.
You speak like you have already played with it.
