Its not so much that it will do anything that other gadgets can't do, but just the ease of the interface. For example, ever tried to read a newspaper on the iphone or read a book? Sure, you can do it but you get pretty sick of such a small screen rather quickly.
I can see using it to interface with the hi-fi for music, reading newspapers, surfing the net...sure I can do all those now with a laptop, but laptops are pretty heavy compared to the ipad and dont boot up quickly.....
the real genuis of Jobs and Apple is in the apps and the iTunes store. You'll be able to have your entire magazine and book collection and music and photos etc. all on one gadget that has a great interface and big crisp screena nd be so portable...I can see it being a paradigm shift in the way we consume all sorts of media. Bring it on...
