Looking at the big picture the thing that really stands out to me is the iWork demo. The built-in apps were a bit ho-hum because they <i>are</i> very basic applications like most of Apple's other bundled apps on other platforms but the iWork demo... You've got basically a near desktop quality application here. Look at all the new UI widgets, toolbars, drop down font selectors, a general purpose file-insertion tool using media browsers, a windowing system, context sensitive keyboards, etc. I can imagine we're going to see a lot of iPad applications that are near desktop quality. The first generation of powerful multi-touch software. This is where the people saying <i>"it's just a big iPod Touch"</i> are totally missing the point. iPad applications are going to be serious, nearly fully featured, applications.
