I just got a 16 GB iPad yesterday. I was thinking of it as a large
iPod touch, but it is not. It is something new that is a blast to
use. I think it will change the way people casually use technology
and is a big step forward in consumer electronics. After using it for
the last day, I think it is a good value as well. It can replace a
net book, kindle, and a hand-held game system as well as being a media
system for photos, video and music. Much more fun than I expected and
I would suspect it will be a widely copied model over the next years
by other companies.

I had mine delivered from China on April 3rd since I ordered it the
day it
was available for ordering. I got the 64GB unit and its an amazing
device.
I think the reviewer I read that said it was the first information
consumer
device had it about right. There is no manual, you just press the
big button
and start poking and sliding your way around it. Its very snappy,
the screen
is beautiful and the ipad apps are very intuitive (but I also have an
iPhone).
Instead of keeping my laptop by my TV room chair, I have my iPad on
its
stand. When you want to do that quick email check (or query IMDB.org
while
watching a movie to get the real scoop on it), its perfect. Its not
for
programming or multi-page writing but the touch keyboard when in
landscape
view is almost the size of a mini keyboard.
It should kill the netbook craze as well as the Kindle (anyone want
to buy
a used Kindle DX)? The Kindle app on the iPad is really nice and the
iBook
app is even nicer. I wish you could natively read pdf files but that
means
Apple allows Adobe to exist on the same planet and that obviously
isn't
happening.
My wife is wavering on getting one. She wavered on the iPhone also
and now
things its the best device she has ever seen. I predict my iPad will
become
hers when the next gen comes around.
Best wishes
