Although technically correct, Samsung fails with regard to its poor understanding of product / interface design and aesthetics.
They also forgot to factor in the Apple fanboy culture.
That said, yes, the iPad is a glorified MID.
Look out for HP’s tablet, and also this other thing called the Adam, from Notion Ink - they use a unique Pixel Qi display, which allows the device to function as a long-lasting ebook reader, as well as a full-colour LCD tablet, at the same time.
I think the Samsung needs a few more buttons. Good Lord, is that actually a product they expect anyone to buy?

The iPad has the same deficiencies as the iPhone — 1) very very limited multi-tasking (probably just with iPod, recorder, etc.); 2) no Adobe flash and won’t play Windows media files. The first problem is like going back to DOS days. The second eliminates a large chunk of the internet. Besides that, there’s no camera.
