Anyone have an Ipad?

And if you do, what do you think of it? I am contemplating one ( have an iphone and love it) or a netbook or a laptop, but want something easily portable and easy to use one handed...take it to babies room or around the house anywhere.

No flash, so you loose half the internet

I have one - too heavy for one-handed use, IMO - really need to rest it on something. With no camera and no USB port, I find it not very useful for anything more than e-mail, casual web browsing, and a couple of games. The NetFlix app is cool, I just wish their streaming library was larger. Outside of testing our software (what I use it for 75% of the time), I just grab it to check e-mail/browse when I don't feel like pulling my laptop out of my bag and starting it up. I would never buy one with my own $$$, that's for certain. I'd rather purchase a netbook for much less or spen a little more and go with a Lenovo x200 tablet PC.

What are you wanting to do with it? Like Lee says, tablets are very limited.

Yea, a girl at work got one and it's cool BUT for $800 you can buy one heck of a laptop...

Mostly browsing net. Some music maybe reading electronic books. Whatever will keep me sane for 4 or 5 am feedings.

bought 1 for z, cuz she wanted a reader. i figure it's nice reader and then some

she's really likes it, and she was anti-mac before we bought it

april really likes it too, and there are alot of good "lesson" type games on there

we found it very useful traveling and looking for things on the road.

sure it's basically an itouch w/ a huge screen.

i had even ordered a 2nd one and sold it for $75 more then i paid lol

My wife loves hers, While I find it a fun Gadget, I am holding off. My cheap little acer netbook handles all the same tasks. (The Acer does lack the nifty touch screen) I am waiting to see some of the competing products.
