The iPad is more like a handheld, touchscreen computer. In addition to playing music and video, it has web browsing and ebook reading capabilities.
Improved answer --
I have been reading ebooks on my iPod Touch for quite some time now. So, no big change there.
I also browse the Web with my Touch. Although I will admit that the larger screen Web browsing easier.
In reality the iPad has no significant advantage over the iPod Touch. And it probably is not as functional as an iPhone, no phone or camera.
So, why the iPad? The iPhone now has big time competition. I have talked to users of the Droid phone from Verison. They say that the the iPhone is running a very distant second place to the Droid. Apple needs some new gadget to boost their sales numbers. The problem is that there is really nothing new to the iPad.
One more thing. Try to carry an iPad around in your pocket of purse! LOL

The ipad is fine fore web browsing and social networking. It can also handle word documents just fine. If you need all the usb ports and so on, you should get a laptop. I would get the ipad, because you can get all sorts of apps. But if you have an ipod touch and can use it fine, get the laptop. the ipad is a big ipod touch. your only missing out on the screen size.
