Apparently, the big draw of having an iPad is how you can use it in business. I'd get one if I was going to be making documents on the fly or making power point presentations to show people personally. As a leisure tool... No, it looks crap. Apparently you can read a book on it but why would you need it to read a book? You could just carry a book around with you.
That's funny because I'd never consider using an iPad for business under any circumstances - a laptop would be far more appropriate not to mention versatile. However the gaming potential excites me after seeing Yahtzee "I hate casual games" Croshaw ramble on as if Castle Crash is a new concept. It'd be a nice toy and if someone gave me a free one no doubt I'd enjoy mucking around on it, however I don't think I'd ever pay for one.
It's far too big to be a portable gaming device.

I don't know the specifics in detail but a family member that needs to hand his boss presentations often makes them on the fly with his iPad and he can just hand it to him.
Who said anything about portable? Maybe Apple did, but I couldn't care less if my gaming devices are portable or not.

I guess maybe my industry's different from most, but if I've got something to tell a person, I just tell them, I don't hand them a "presentation".
As I said, it's not me that's doing this. I haven't had a job since I was born.

If it's not portable... Why wouldn't you just play on a console or something?
If the console had the same games as the iPad, I would.
Don't the iPod Touch and iPhone have the same games? Wouldn't consoles have better quality games, too?
Yes they do. Depends what you mean by 'quality'. See Yahtzee's iPhone games review.

Actually, that entirely an unofficial nickname. Apple has NEVER referred to the iPod Touch as an iTouch.

Oh. Well I don't see why they don't. I guess to remind everyone that it's an iPod and not a completely different device?
