iPad vs Pebble

To judge the usefulness of the iPad you can't compare to Android tablets, but to things that are already available now. This is a comprehensive list of the features between the Apple iPad and your typical Pebble.

Pebble (40,000 BC) features:
Multitasking - no
Camera - no
Flash - no
Windows Apps - no
Removable Battery - no
Optical Drive - no
Ugly bezel - NO
Color selection - VERITY OF DIFFERENT COLORS
Battery life - INFINITY HOURS
Weight - 0.01 LBS
Cost - $0

iPad (2010) Features:
Multitasking - no
Camera - no
Flash - no
Windows Apps - no
Removable Battery - no
Optical Drive - no
Ugly bezel - YES
Color selection - NONE
Battery life - 9-10 Hours
Weight - 1.6 LBS
Cost - $499.00 to $829.00

Note I'm only comparing features, for example I do not include things like touch screens as its not a feature, but a way to make available features more accessible. The pebble actually has a very intuitive and simple design interface. Much more user friendly.

In summary if your choosing between the Pebble and the iPad, they both are similar in feature sets, but the Pebble beats the iPad in Weight, Battery-life, portability, and variety. However the iPad has an ugly bezel around the screen, but than again the iPad is $499.98 to $829.98 more expensive.
