It is also touted to support iWork for word processing and excel which is great (kind of like netbooks) but then there is no multi-tasking.

The concept and the problem this device addresses could have been portrayed much better. The HD is also not true HD (even the 720P resolution is crippled) as the panel is not native 16:9

Will the iPad sell? Yes..is it a game changer..hell no. I will wait for version 2.0
Not supporting flash is huge. It's going to cripple the web browsing experience for many sites.

This device has a lot of people in the industry wondering what to use it for. IMO, Jobs has made a "build it and they will come" gamble. We'll have to wait and see if someone builds a killer app for it.
