Owen -
From one Fanboi to another, I'm not planning to buy one. It just
didn't live up to my expectations. I had been holding out, hoping it
would make a fair replacement for my wife's 12" G4... but it just
doesn't. I may have to break down and buy an aftermarket touch notepad
built up from a MacBook. But they are pricey.
That said, if I *was* buying one, I'd say skip the 3G and take the extra
memory. My 16G iPhone never quite fills up but that is because I know
the high water mark and avoid it... I'm sure if I had 32 I'd hover
around 30 instead of 15/16.
Have fun with your new toy... when are they likely to ship?

OK, I'm getting an iPad .. and pre-order starts today. The tough
question is which of them to get?
- 3G/WiFi: I'm certain I'll get a WiFi only version. As innovative as
the iPad 3G plans are (monthly, no contract required, instant on, two
data levels), Santa Fe doesn't have good coverage, especially with ATT.
- 16,32,64 GB: This is tough, I don't know how I'll use the critter.
My iPhone is very low end -- original 2G/8GB. With care, no problems,
and iTunes helps a lot to simplify things. But with the iPad, I
suspect I'll want to download most of my music, and have several
movies on it. I'm leaning towards 32, even though its an extra $100.
Any one else considering pre-order? And if so, which version?
