Please tell me that you don't actually believe this and were just speaking for effect, as it isn't even remotely close to the truth.

The iPad was a revolution in exactly the same way the iPod was a revolution. It had a more accessible UI and made trade-offs to be a bit slicker than what was out there, but they were the right trade-offs which were needed to take it to mass appeal. It's a good product, and it will revolutionize tablet use, but not because it's a massive technical improvement.
