My Ride: 05 545i loaded!
Now i have an exucse i'm buying one!! How do you get your pictures on it though? Do you have to link it to a desktop all the time? I am a Nikon shooter and i have CF cards and apple doesn't normaly play nice with CF! I know i know "go read the specs". It would just be nice to see how you work it into your workflow.
Side note: Are there any cool BMW apps out there? (i have been off the apps scene for like 6 months).

1. use the camera connection kit (with CF card reader if you use CF)
2. iTunes importing photos from your iPhoto
3. Cloud - Dropbox is a great option.
BMW MAGAZINE APP is BEAUTIFUL on the iPad.

I have an excellent scientific calculator on it that I use at work. I have lots of great games from challenging 3D puzzles to first person shooter games. It is fully integrated with my system at home for files so I have my iPhoto archives with me which I greatly enjoy. I could go on and on. I really find it to be a great device.

It's far more than an oversized iPod touch... There are some fantastic games and business apps that were designed specifically for the iPad that would work far less effectively on a smaller screen.
Some of the killer business apps for me:
Citrix - lets me access work email through a virtualized copy of Outlook, accessible right on the iPad, and with the ability to instantly open and edit all MS office attachments and PDF documents.
Webex and Go to Meeting - attend net meetings and presentations via a native iPad client.
Good Reader/Drop Box/Quickoffice Connect - excellent file viewers/readers with wireless document syncing.
Simply put, the iPad is more than capable of being your sole device when you're traveling on business. 1.5lbs of iPad, with its stellar battery life, is far more practical than 6 to 9 lbs of laptop and charger. You don't even need to take the iPad out of your bag at the TSA screening.

The iPad is incredibly useful, I LOVE MINE. Its nice and portable, you can bring it into a meeting, bring it around the office browsing the web. Entertain myself in slow periods playing a game or two. I'm on the computer all day for work so if I come home I don't want to be in front of a desk or have my laptop out. I can just pick up the ipad and use it, its fast, always works, doesn't slow down.

My mother is a total computer illiterate -- and entirely unteachable. But she wants internet access. I'm getting her the iPad 3G 16 gb.
