You can already get decent spec tablet PC's with far greater power, which would run the relevant software.

All the other main PC manufacturers are coming out with similar products to the ipad. 10 inch touchscreen tablets with far more power and running windows 7, so much more freedom for software. Oh, and they will be half the price too.
You obviously haven't used an iPod touch. You can show videos and images on that so it will obviously work on the ipad. I'm not talking about running cad software, just showing presentations of images and video etc.

If keynote runs on it (which is brilliant by the way, it's everything PowerPoint should be) then that will be even better.

Only real problem I can see with the ipad is lack of dome kind of sd card slot or similar to use for additional storage. I'm sure somone will overcome this through using the dock connector though.
