based off of screenshots, seems so.

#4You can't convince fanboys that lack of features will eventually lead to pain for the users.

It allows for multiple windows, which is somewhat similar.

#6Is it really single tab browsing? Ugh.
hmmm... didn't think of that either- That would be pretty painful if I buy one...

Annoying workaround, but Air Video can stream from your desktop.

#9"Even past the fact that the iPad does not have a camera, it cannot run two applications at the same time. Meaning: talking to my girlfriend, I could not look up a train time while we talked. Result: have to use my iPhone while we video chat. All that in a device that commands a price premium."
How do you video chat using an iPhone, which has a camera on the back?
"Again, we run into a software problem. From what I have seen in images surrounding the iPad, you can only have one tab open at a time. Excellent, if this was 1996. Hell, even Internet Explorer 7 had multitab browsing. Oh, and if that Apple sourced processor is so fast, why the hell can I not use it? Single tabbed browsing is just a plain deal killer for content consumption, period."
The button to switch windows or tabs is located between the forward and bookmarks button. It is located in the bottom right on the iPhone.
"Apple almost got there with this one, copying someone else’s interface for iBooks. But then it hit me again, only one app at a time! I listen to music while I read. And Gmail is never closed. Blast, there goes that."
If you're using the iPod and Mail applications, this isn't an issue, as both of these applications can run in the background.
"Again, when are we going to see HTML5 casual gaming? I love the game “desktop tower defense,” which is flash based. iPad? No."
There are many casual games in the App Store, including many tower defence games (my favourite is Star Defence, but there are plenty of good free ones, if 99c is too dear). This is only going to increase with Flash CS5.

#10No tabbed browsing in Safari. I'm guessing dozens of tabbed browsers will pop up in the App store almost immediately. Unless Apple rejects them of course.
