Writing this from one now. Picked it up yesterday.

As Pete says it is perfect for most things you need to do.

Only issues I have are lack of iChat and flash.

When I finally get home (currently stuck in Florida) I will put the iPad in
the kitchen or lounge and use as a web pad and sonos controller.

I do use apple everyday but think iPad changes the way I will use computers
to home

that were quoted.  I also discovered Handbreak (probably old news to most
you guys) which can convert any of my burnt DVDs to an Apple-friendly
format.
