I thought it was useless when it came out; I was like LOL BIG IPOD TOUCH.
A few weeks ago I got an iPad 2 and it's a world of difference. Media is just so much better and you can actually read stuff without having to put your iPod/Phone in your face.

Well, the iPad always struck me as some kind of oversized iPod Touch, which in the end it is. The iPad, together with the Mac Pro are mysteries to me as to why people buy them. I bought myself a cheap Creative tablet to get a feel for tablets but apart from watching movies when I was on vacation, it's seen little to no use. I find my macbook much comfortable to work on when sitting in the couch (and it supports flash). The mac pro is just a horrible overpriced desktop computer.

2020: iWall
i'm calling it right now. in the near future, the market will shift away from mobile tablet devices and into home-integrated touch devices. apple will coin the term or buy the rights to "iHome". anything with a wall or surface will be a touch screen! apple will invade your home!! steve job's ghost will be watching you poop!!!

You are right, the devices are essentially the same, but the size really makes a difference. You can read and type more comfortably. Its easier to target things and do precise movements, especially if you have big hands (its so much better to play Cave's games on an iPad). The extra screen surface has its obvious advantage for drawing programs, or can be used to display more information (Mail, Safari, iWork), and there are applications that benefit from using more than two fingers (virtual keyboards, music, etc).
Also, it may not sound like much, but how certain widgets and dialogs are implemented on the iPad compared to the iPhone really shows that Apple just didn't move things as-is, and put some thaught on using the extra screen available.
In essence, you get an ultraportable computer, lighter and easy to carry than most laptops out there, with days worth of battery life, no heat nor fans, no hinges, and the iPhone's straightforward workflow, which is more than enough (and arguably more efficient) for many common things.
It has become my main computer, as long as I don't need to do work-related or "specialized" tasks. For everything else, I just grab the iPad sitting in my couch.
