Kalnel I agree tons of fun but not net book/laptop replacement. However, I had the best time sitting at Starbucks this morning which was one of my main reasons for purchase.

Free apps from the app store, and I believe there working on getting winterboard (ui theme changer) to work fir the iPad. And ofcourse Multitasking.

Yeah, I would have to agree....definitely NOT a PC replacement, HOWEVER I am getting rid of my PC and getting a netbook. I think that these two would be a powerful AND portable combination.

if you get the 3G version you can tether to your netbook, that would be pretty sweet.

I'll use my phone to tether...

AT&T doesn't have 3g in my area so that's why I saved a 130.00 and just got the wifi version.

It is pretty awesome to stay connected 24-7....or is that a bad thing????

I don't think being connected to wifi is a bad thing at all. Actually, most of the games you play on the Ipad tell you "FOR FASTER CONNECTION USE WIFI" I just think that is so true and hillarious!!! Poor At&t 3g is not available in most areas so it makes since!

This thing is almost obnoxious with how fun it is. When I first saw one, I thought Steve Job's hubris had reached monumental levels. After playing with one for an hour at the Apple store, I bought one right away. Since then, I've constantly toted it around. I cache a bunch of pages at home with wifi and then take them on the go. The games are fun and amazing on the screen.

The iPad doesn't replace my netbook, because I use that strictly for business and school, but my iPad is so much more fun!

Of course it doesn't replace a laptop but it does take care of all your gaming desires It's fascinating! I agree

I've gotta agree. I sold my laptop and grabbed a wifi iPad and a net book, haven't looked back. I use my tp2s 3G to tether this thing and it works like a charm. At this point I'm rethinking buying the evo lol. This is my first apple product and they've certainly impressed me. I figure once the clam case pad case drops I'll really be forsaking my net book.

I like that! That's what we use our Ipad through is just the wifi. No need to be on the network Were very impressed as well!
