For those really, really interested in this topic, Keith Blount, developer of Scrivener, posted a long—and, I think, interesting—post about the iPad, here:

Yes, but this device does that and a lot more which is what makes it valuable. Its not “just” an electronic whiteboard or “just” an ereader. Its all of that and more in one reasonably priced device. Your argument is like saying that no one should buy an iphone because apparently we never heard that there are regular cellular phones available.

Your best argument that the device will fail is that I, someone who does see the value, probably won’t be buying it despite that. We’ll see what happens.
