Instead of putting out a tablet computer, they put out a jumbo iPod/iPhone (and they even left some features out of that since iPhones have both cameras and voice recognition now).
I have no doubt that they'll release another version (probably within a few months of the release of this one) with a webcam. That's not a plus in my book, though. They'll just be selling the same iPad with "new" features they should've included in the first place.
To me, this is similar to the Macbook Air: An underpowered, me-too product.

The iPad isn't much of anything, what it actually might be is a very expensive storefront that you carry about with you, and every time you want to pay Apple some money, you can, right away!!
