I don't think that the iPad cuts it yet. It's like the original iPhone; which just didn't deliver enough of anything... When the iPhone 3G came out, I snapped one up and have been happy with that decision (although it's not as good a "product" as Windows 7).
I'm going to buy the iPhone 4 (or HD) when that hits the shelves. I will consider buying the iPad when Apple comes out with a new version that makes it more useful (and improves iTunes etc.).

I understand that satisified customer does not equal fanboy. I too have numerous versions of Windows as well as OSX and iGadgets and can see the upsides and downsides of them all. When the iPad first came out I thought it was a waste also, and laughed when Jobs called it revolutionary, but now I see that I was wrong.
The reason the iPhone is so great is because of the UI and the software that runs on it. I simple don't see how making the screen larger and extending battery life makes the iPad an inferior product. It isn't a beta tester so to speak, it runs on a fully developed and real-world tested OS. You can't compare it to the first gen iPhone because that thing sucked in comparison.
I also don't see how Apple could make it much better from a hardware standpoint, and all that is left are the developers writing the software, and those are the people who make it truly useful.
