I can't decide between the iPad and the WePad. Which one is better?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Many Windows based PC's have more features than Mac's. Bluray burners, enhanced networking, bigger screens, bundled software, etc. Apple products don't differentiate themselves on features but rather style and integration with other Apple products.
The iPod is the shining example of this. It's a sleek, cool device that is exceptionally easy to use when connected to a Mac. Not only is transferring audio and video to an iPod easy, but integration with iTunes makes the whole experience comfortable and hassle free. People pay for style and usability - Apple banks on this with every product they release.
I don't think that the iPad will be any different. HP, Asus, Amazon, etc are already lining up to make devices with more features and functions then the iPad. Do more features and functions result in more sales? They should - but they don't.
If you're looking for a full featured, open standards device, I'd go with the WePad.
If you're looking for an easy to use, stylish device that is well connected, choose the iPad.

I imagine both will be ok for photo-sharing and surfing, but the iPad will have tons of apps from the get go, including for Flickr etc.
You won't be able to sell your wife on a mysterious geek thing called a WePad, so go for the iPad. :D

> when connected to a Mac
iPods and iPhones work very slickly when connected to a PC as well. Part of that comes from the Apple's attention to these things. Part of that comes from their dominance in the market, so everything that anyone makes has to work well with them. (Like with IE and websites!)
> Do more features and functions result in more sales? They should - but they don't.
For the average user more features that they don't understand and will never use are easily and rightly trumped by ease of use and good looks. After all lots of people complain that MS Office is too big and too complicated and has too many befuddling features.
Actually Apple's mobile ecosystem is developing the kind of momentum and dominance that Wintel used to have in the computer space. The reasons that people used to have for buying Windows PCs now apply to buying Apple mobile devices as well.
