I use my iPad everyday for RSS news mainly, when I'm in bed. It's also my secondary email device when I'm not in the office. Plus, I like reading books with it. Other than that, everything else is pretty shit imo with the exception of games.
But I think you're completely right. I wouldn't use it for real work. Nothing beats a good ole separate keyboard. Once web apps become more instantaneous and bandwidth becomes something silly fast, I don't see the purpose of an 'app' if you can do everything in one app -- your browser.
They're definitely all hyped right now b/c it's a 'new' technology. They have these 'convertible' tablets which are like a tablet / notebook where the screen detaches from the laptop to create the tablet. I think those will eventually be what the common laptop is.
Apple will put the iPad into a MacBook Air and call it Air Pad.
