Apple ipad: What's your input?

I agree ctzn, it should become a great device, but Apple has the iPod and the iPhone to build from. They also have all the past mistakes of Microsoft and others at tablet attempts and can see what people wanted from them but also why those devices failed.
In the end Apple took the iPhone/iPod touch and created a larger version to just start with, can it become great? Sure, but would it have been better to start with what we saw (iPad) and then try to grow from that for a first round try. The iPad really could have change the industry:

eBooks, portal media (web, video, music, etc.), email, iWork, plus apps - Are all a great start
What about video chat or VoiP, desktop widgets/info, multi-task (Apple created this great new CPU or bought into it but do not show it off), connection(s) (HDMI/USB/or even displayport, you want this device to be the ultimate portable and all give us is 30pin?), widescreen (4:3 ratio was a bad decision). There are more things Apple could/should have done, all within the realm of the current technology without changing cost.
