For me no - I'm not in the market for a e-reader and if I wanted small and portable I would do a netbook instead. Netbooks are much cheaper and have more but then again they are not e-readers really. If I were in the market for a table (which I have the archos which is a media table however smaller) I would not get a ipad. All putting aside the Apple name the fact that it doesn't let you multi task, no flash and no USB would be main reasons to walk away Being DMR that would also be a deal breaker.
I would wait till HP, acer or sony came out with one and compare the specs.
No thanks. I want an ultraportable type device but I'll wait till the netbook market reacts with lower prices. Then I get something with more options, ie software choices. Plus I can wipe it and install the linux of my choice.
I'm a maybe. I'll either buy this or the HP pad... It's going to depend mostly on the price of the HP, and when it comes out.

OK I put yes , But for one have to wait for a price drop !
I think Apple and taken a lot of steps in the right direction by them realeasing this before most of the competition gives them an upper edge ! I think they can improve on it ! NASA even quotes the iPhone to be the most advance hardware on the marketplace so yeah why not use that to try something new , Because of Apples technology I think after iPad 2 or 3 comes out it will be top of the line ! Apple has been pretty smart and has been able to give its people a Mac that can now run windows and a Phone that has dominated the market place ! It was originally a test market that is now a growing demand by the people !
I think Apple is doing great things and I think all the rich people should buy one right away ! I want mine for $150 or less which may not happen !
Just like netbook you have to plug things into it to get all the options !
Now Not being able to multitask & the price is the ONLY downsides I see at this point !

Still a bit expensive and new for me. If anything, maybe the iPad 2.
