Perhaps it does have a ways to go for many potential users but you can say that about almost all electronic devices due to the rapid advancement of technology. Its pretty much a universal rule that if you wait, you will get more for your money. I think most of us have quite a museum of long forgotten computers, printers, software, and devices, that haven't seen use in a decade, but we just cant throw them out because of what they cost.
Some will be quick to adopt the Ipad since it will be useful to them, others will wait and buy version 2.0 or 3.0 and many will choose not to buy one, simply because they have no need for it, and that is fine.
Just like buying a pair of ski boots, one brand or line might be the perfect fit for somebody, but the other guy might not be able to fit into any of the manufacturers boots at all. I know when I bought my last pair the first shop I went to had to send me to there competition to get the right fit since none of there boots would work, but the guy knew his competitor had a line that would.
