The software is important, but the real reason for the iPad's existence is the physical aspects. Form is function. Bigger than phone, touched orientated versus keyboard/mouse mac. That's also whythe physically 'panic' home button was very good. Personally the most interesting feature of the iPad these days is the pen - a way of physically interacting with the computer that's different. At the end of the day, the 'user interface' isn't just software it's physical. Whether it be touch, voice, pen, or keyboard. One of the problems with the more 'advanced' UI features/gestures is that they don't anchor in the physical - you have no idea it existed or why the software responded in that way.
