Battery life (perhaps), user interface, and the cost depending on how competitive the iPad's UK price tag is. Price and simplicity are the iPad's biggest unique selling points at the moment, and I think that it's a good first attempt even though I'm perfectly happy with the netbook I'm typing this message on.
Don't forget that the iPhone wasn't exactly that brilliant when it first launched (no 3G, no video recording, no MMS, no cut and paste) - it wasn't even the first touchscreen phone either - and the iPhone evolved into a relatively competitive product with a decent user interface; the iPad will go down the same route.
