Apple's new iPad failed to deliver on it hype. Apple seems to have launched a evolutionary product rather that the revolutionary game changing device (like the iPhone, Macbook Air). The iPad is essentially a supersized iPhone/iPod touch.

However, the iPad has the potential to be a revolutionary device. I expect the revolution to come from the 3rd party apps that will be developed to leverage the large multi-touch screen, long battery life and the new Apple A4 processor. This would take time...

I would wait for the next generation iPad (perhaps with a camera for iChat, Adobe flash support, better ebook coverage, display port, multitasking,  true widescreen 16:9 display and tens of apps that leverage the hardware) ... untill then I will depend on my hackintoshed HP Mini netbook.
