Really, I don't find the ipad that innovative, and could name a few alternatives immediately.
Obviously, the battery life is an issue with a normal tablet PC. Of course, a tablet PC is a lot more expandable, has a larger harddrive, more memory, and a full-fledge operating system.

These have also been around for a few years... If anything, the iPad's only improvement is battery life. (From what I can tell)

Joojoo is great, and meets all of OP's original requirements, aside from battery, which is estimated at 5 hours iirc.

Android tablets are coming in full swing, so there are those. I doubt we'll have a long wait, honestly.
