One issue I see with that, is that it can't do multi tasking, so you can't use the iPad if you want to do any kind of jump out from the presentation - ie. for a demo or to check something on a webpage.
There would have been so many ways to make that iPad really worth buying... but in the current implementation it's just a big iPod-touch and not really worth spending any money on. IMHO.
If the next version has an ATOM or CULV CPU and runs MacOS X, I'll definitely buy it. Oh, and it needs to have USB on board. (besides, that software lock-in to the iTunes store sucks. I'm sure there will be a Jailbreak for the iPad soon, but I don't feel like hacking a device that I just bought, just to be able to use its full potential.) If you want a tablet for presentations etc, try getting a Fujitsu Stylistic.. they are quite cheap to get as leasing returns (~4-500 Euros, the same as the minimal version of the iPad) but they are real PCs running any flavor of Windows or Unix you like. Or you might just ditch the "tablet" requirement and get yourself a nice netbook. May I suggest a Vaio W-Series? ![]()
I've just read a bit more about the HP Slate that's announced for somewhen this summer, and it seems to me like it's the iPad done right. So you should definitely wait and buy elsewhere.
