iPad thoughts anyone ?

Confirmed: iPhone OS 3.2 has support for video calling, file downloads, and SMS

See the article about video conferencing. It seems to suggest that apple didn't give us full disclosure this last Wednesday. All the rush and hype associated in trying to get product on the shelf has led many people to ask what the purpose of the iPad really is.  Its clearly not a laptop or a phone. Not a music player? What then ?  What I can say is that having video calling in a device like this would clearly give it a purpose.
