The iPad is all about content. It isn't a laptop replacement, and it isn't a netbook replacement.
If you don't see that, I'd save your $499 to $829

That's why I said I don't care about it and why I also said it's the app store that'll be most attractive to the iPad. 
Over a billion application downloads says plenty of people do care. More to the point, the iPhone and iPad reopened mass market software development to the independent developers - something we've not really seen since the 1980's. And some of these iPhone apps are stunning - and the iPad will turn the dial up to 11.

I won't be ordering. Ipad is too big to stick in my pocket. If I am going to schelp around something that big, I'll just use my laptop which has Flash player and a million things iPad will not have. It sounds fine if you want a super giant iPhone with a big screen.
What can I say? I just don't get it. That being said, Apple builds fantastic products and maybe this will create a new niche.
And if I were going to get it, I'd wait for 3g capability as wthout it, it's junk if you are not a home or not in a wifi hot spot.

Two of my colleagues where I work have one. For the media experience it's much better than a laptop. I was told there is even a Kindle app - thinking about getting one for the wife.
I heard there is some sort of app in the works that will allow it send and receive email from a server (e.g BES server) which could mimic the blackberry. Things could get interesting if that is the case...
