Got an iPad....
OK.... I did it! I got an iPad. We were in the States for a visit to TV [we bought a home in St. Charles] and I couldn't resist the iPad. Even though I already have an iPhone and MacBook Pro.
Most people are complaining about what it doesn't do, but I find it very useful for cruising the net, sending email, checking on investments (Ouch!) and reading a good book. In fact, on our flight to TV, we were able to use WiFi, so I used flight tracker to track our flight, in real-time, along with sending a few emails and catching up on some of my facebook pals. With Skype, I use it to make international phone calls at $.02/minute, from Germany.
While it isn't a laptop, I could easily travel with the iPad and leave the MacBook at home. Ok, maybe just for for short trips... Anything more than a week and I'd probably take the MacBook TOO.
I purchased the cheapest one, $499 and only WiFi. I'm starting to feel like I should have gotten the 3G model....
Would be interested if anyone else has purchased the iPad and your impression, so far.
