Me too. Just got mine this afternoon.

This is the "family" iPad. I'll be getting another, the one I'll use as my own device, when the 3G version is available later this month!

Mine's still in the box... Have to get it charged and synced up with iTunes... Will have to report later. But the ones I played with the stores today showed me it should more than live up to the hype.

Honestly I really really love it. I had the iPhone since day one and I'm glad I got this. I wanted a kindle a while back but for a little bit more this does alot of things. I'm on the computer all day for work and when I get home and chill on the couch this is perfect for browsing, reading etc.

Got mine this morning. Was in line at about 9:15 am and was out of the store by 10:30. If you do much work on a laptop (i.e. heavy text editing, spreadsheets, etc.) it will not replace a laptop. However, for browsing, checking email, videos, games, etc. it is a great device and I imagine it will be that much better in a few years. Personally, I think it would have been better if it was a bit smaller but is is still a pretty cool gadget - and this is only Version 1.0...
