The innovation on display with the iPad is one of interface and quality control if you will. For better or worse, for 90% of the population that uses computers migrating away from installing and managing software/OS to one where iTunes and the app store serve as both gatekeeper and quality control will yield a highly enjoyable computer experience. Less crashes, less malware, more overall productivity. This gives apple much more control but response has been very positive with the iPhone.
