Personally, I think the iPad is great (I actually own one). It's not perfect, but just like my trusty old Pismo, it does what I need it to do. The best combo for someone who doesn't need the power of a laptop everywhere they go (seriously, the iPad is designed for travel) would be iPad+desktop (preferably Mac). My theory is, a laptop would serve like a mobile desktop while traveling: sitting in a hotel room as a sync station for an iPad and iPhone. The iPad would be the main web and production (dare I use that term) machine while mobile, supplanted by the iPhone for fast, reliable communication. So, desktop, laptop, iPad, and iPhone: each one has a unique role. I've actually tried it, too. I use an iPad exclusively while mobile at college, and I've found very few instances where I need to use a desktop, and only one purpose for a laptop (a PC laptop running Ubuntu for MIDI applications). In fact, for reporting and interviewing (I'm part of my college's newspaper staff), the iPad definitely blows away laptops. In short, use the iPad as you would a clipboard and paper, and use a desktop or laptop as you would a writing desk.
