I heard a great summation of that from a Cnet reviewer recently.
Apple took two devices that we actually need (laptops and phones) and combined them into something that no one actually needs but lots of people want. They, in effect, created a new market.
Similar to the iPod (and yes, I know that slates/tablets were coming down the pipes for a long time, but apple got there and popularized it first... just like with the iPod). And hell, the iPad is actually a piss poor halfass tablet computer. It really is its own class of device (and I don't mean that in a necessarily good way).
