The iPad is fantastic

I've had my iPad for several weeks now and i absolutely love it (Fyi, I paid full retail price for it). i would recommend that everyone get one. It may not replace your main computer completely, but it gets close. The iPad is best described as a media/information consumption device. Its great for browsing the internet, reading books, watching video, etc. On the other hand, it's not so great for creation of information, such as long emails, data entry, programming, etc. Fortunately, most people's uses of computers fall into the former category.
