just want to add I've had my hands on test with the demo units at apple store. its ok I suppose, if you are one of those with a nice amount of disposable income, sure, why not, people like that blow 10000 on handbags etc. Its a nice thing to have by your bedside, in the toilet, living room, on the go.
If you are the kind of person still struggling with bills or still paying off any CC debt. save it. its not worth it. and don't be an idiot.
it has a certain weighty feel, can certainly see some fatigue after 1hr. one would imagine bigger on screen keyboard = easier, actually I found myself mistakenly hitting the side keys qaw quite often and other keys because of its sensitive touch capabilities, it was quite annoying, its ok if you are -careful-
iphone apps DO look horrible. and ipad apps are stupid expensive. wouldn't know why anyone would want to watch shows on the go, unless you are a public transport person. there are only so many watch baby laugh youtube videos to watch. also I think 3g version should be default. wifi only is very crippled in mobility.
I have the iphone 3gs, thats why I believe its nice to have by your bed, good to have when you wake up and lazy to sit up boot the computer what not, just pick it up and check twitter or mail or whatnot. also nice to have when doing No2 of course. but seriously watching movies, if you can afford iPad, you probably already own a 46+" lcd, might as well watch on that.
it is quite fancy, I'm sure with its apple keynote if you're trying to sell something person to person it can be very effective at bedazzling the customer/client.
I'll just end it by saying its nice. but don't be an idiot if you haven't even upgrade your computer or own an iphone. iphone>ipad. But if you have $$$, more power to you.
myself I will wait for the tablet wars to start, see what other companies do, but I do believe should iPad 2G come out. its probably going to be the magic. ok bye
From your experience with it, does it do what Steve Jobs says it does best, ie surfing the intrawebs? If it does, then truly the function of the device is to act as an interface to the internet on the go at home.If you are the kind of person still struggling with bills or still paying off any CC debt. save it. its not worth it. and don't be an idiot.

Just imagine this:
1) if you're on the couch and you want to order some item you just saw on the tv, what do you do? Reach for the iPad. Do research on it briefly, buy. (Americans often do that, sometimes my mom does that too)
2) if you are chilling at home, doing nothing and surfing the web in your garden, what do you do? Bring the iPad. Laptops are either bulky (or bulkier) or too small to surf comfortable (like a netbook). My mom does that some times.
3) If you are about to sleep, but still planning your trip to Taiwan or to Europe, what do you do? Lie on the bed, reach out for the iPad. Atm, my mom complains that the laptop gets too hot on her lap, so she just does all of it on the table. Not terribly inconvenient, but you see where the iPad works well for her
4) You are cooking in the kitchen, and have roughly 10 mins to spare. You can't leave the kitchen because you have to watch the fire. What do you do? Reach out for the iPad.
So i think the iPad may not be the best item for me to use, because i pretty much lug around my macbook pro everywhere, but it would be perfect for my mom. She does loads of online banking, doesn't type much, surfs a lot, watches youtube videos once in a while and is not exactly tech savvy enough to avoid dangerous websites that infects her netbook with keyloggers. For 2k+, i would spend my money for her birthday which would probably be the most fitting item for her to connect to the internet at home.
