I'm on the fence.  If you have one, tell us what you think!

I think it is an ipod on steroids.

IMO it is a product without a market.  At least for me. 

I predict that it will put the University bookstores out of business one day.

Not worth my money, I'll take my iPod touch anyday

a little steep for me. The basic models aren't too bad but to get one with a decent amount of memory and 3G capability you have to drop some coin...more than for a standard laptop with much more computing capabilities. I also don't think typing on a flat surface like that would be comfortable at all. I'm sure it's neat like their other products, i'm just not sure it's worth it to me.

I agree, I have the the Iphone and love it but when I seen this I was like ok so. 

This is being discussed on two other forums I frequent.........and it's getting heated

I'm going to get the 64GB, WiFi version. I have an iPhone and love the features, I just find it too small for any serious web browsing or overall functionality. I have a laptop but I hate trying to use it when I fly. IMHO, the iPad will do everything I need when I'm travelling or laying around the livingroom. I don't need a CD drive or an onboard keyboard. I would probably get the keyboard docking station to use in a hotel room. If the iPad will allow me to do Email, store photos while I travel and other simple, day to day tasks, it will work out perfectly for me. 

Among the many shortcomings is the fact that you can't multitask with it. However, it's an Apple product, so it will sell ridiculous numbers to the hardcore Apple fans alone. Love my iPhone and my Powerbook, but I will never buy an "iPad"  ;D

Another giant step backwards to the good old days when the hardware provider controlled any software that you can use.

Next up will be the new software that will require a hardware update to run it, and on and on........

I like the look and the interface, but I won't be a buyer until I can install whatever I want on it, multitask applications, and use some type of external memory device (usb drive).

I have no desire to get an I-Fad.

if it don't fit in my back pocket, i don't need it.

I have had the iPhone since its *** and think the iPad is just a Netbook with better sound and graphics!  I love my little Ideapad, netbook, it fits perfectly in between the iPhone and Laptop.  While watching t.v. I look things up, respond to emails, and look over spreadsheets and its about $200 less, not like I would care if it was more, but for the features why really get the iPad unless you have a specific application or your just an Apple fan. Also its great when traveling and I don't want to bring my 17 inch screened laptop. 

What the he#@ is an "ipad?   ;D

i am considering getting one robert. i won't get an iphone because they are not waterproof (yes i know you can get a case). i have a macbook pro and i love it. the ipad would be nice for travel, internet access etc. i would prefer the itouch, but the internet only works in wifi areas. i have seen them and my friends seem to love theirs (so far).

up until 3 minutes ago, i had no idea what an ipad was...

Nope. Met Steve Jobs 2 years ago and he was the biggest A-hole I have ever met. No Apple products for me.
