My mom got one of these yesterday and out of the box, it has more slightly functionality than the iPad. But the basics are pretty much identical. The Touchpad, like the iPad has email, internet browsing, chat, video and music. It also has Flash, which the iPad doesn't.
Again, they don't get the app idea just yet. But from a typical user standpoint, they have pretty much the same gadget. One cost $599 the other cost $99. It's not difficult to see the value in that.

Yeah it seems like basically you are trading the ability to get a million different apps on the ipad for being able to do flash on the touchpad. Aside from that they look pretty damn similar other than the fact that HP will no longer be supporting them.
