It's based on my estimate of Apple's usual slick product launches. This
one by comparisons is full of mistakes, and half finished looking
components, like the ugly unlock screen, and tiny app launch icons - as
well as the lack of an original background behind the icons (looks an
aweful lot like Android). That combined with a less than accurate SDK,
which they would normally have pretty clean and proper.
They did pull it together enough for a demo, but it's not up to Apple's
standards.

The iPad is a buggy rushed to market, compromised piece of hardware. The
competition in that space at CES is staggering, likely cheaper, and mostly
based on Android. Apple isn't going to win this market, so I'm not worried
about it.

*Flash*
Many people will bemoan the lack of Flash in the iPad. It wasn't
mentioned, but eagle-eyed viewers would have seen the missing plugin icon on
the New York Times site during yesterday's demo, and given that Apple
clearly hates Flash as both a non-open web "standard" and as a buggy,
CPU-hungry piece of code, it's unlikely it will ever be added, unless Apple
decides it wants to cut the battery life down to two hours.
Who needs Flash, anyway? YouTube and Vimeo have both switched to H.264 for
video streaming (in Chrome and Safari, at least -- Firefox doesn't support
it), and the rest of the world of Flash is painful to use.
In fact, we think the lack of Flash in the iPad will be the thing that
finally kills Flash itself. If the iPad is as popular as the iPhone and iPod
Touch, Flash-capable browsers will eventually be in the minority.
go.
