I think Apple was really smart to leverage everything they created with the iPhone. Especially the App Store. I think it will be huge.
I think the simple change in form factor and screen size will create a whole new use case that doesn't exist yet: casual computing. You CAN put a laptop in your lap as you lean back, but it's really awkward and looks stupid. Not to mention burns your lap and runs out of batteries in 2 hours. This is as simple as holding a newspaper. I think it will make all the difference. As a platform, it has huge potential that is hard to visualize because it's so new to us, and we try and fit our previous experiences into it instead. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
