Same with Courier. I've never seen vaporware get so much attention.
What can't the iPad do?
Flash and a camera (not front facing, which I would call webcam, anyway) are not things I think are necessary. So what else would you put down?
And, for the record, I'm against the closed loop system. I wouldn't be if they allowed anything into the store, but since their rejection system is arbitrary and highly flawed, it's absolutely a big issue.

COURIER: Where do you get your information???? Courier is beyond prototype stage and is slated for a late Q3 release (which means Q1 2011). NOW, that said, all I said was I would wait for it to be out to judge if I wanted in this space... not at all certain it will fill my needs either.
IPAD: Things I can't do... - make phone calls
- sms/mms
- use external USB devices
- watch 1080 HD video
- use SD memory(great for easy storage of movie libraries)
- no camera whatsoever... not a webcam or a "real" cam...
- iR connect
- GPS
- carry an extra replaceable battery
- not suck
