So that parts fine for me as I mainly listen to music in iTunes.
But yeah, lack of multitasking is a biggy for me.
Lack of multi-tasking, screen less than 8.5x11, lack of built in stylus mark up support, and lack of flash are the reasons I'm not buying one.
But the form factor, battery life and price are all great and set the bar high. So I can't wait to see what others put out to compete with it.

I stand corrected on the music point. But as you say, multitasking remains a rather big deal.
Your last sentence does make me think though. While I don't think the iPad is a wise purchase, it does make sense that someone out there will now try to best it -- perhaps with a similar device that lacks these fatal flaws? Even if only indirectly, perhaps Apple has opened the door to a bit of future awesome. Only time will tell.
