Personally, being an apple fan, i still can't find the use for an ipad??

if you're getting one...what are you going to use it for?

I was thinking of getting one, but only to have it mounted to the wall of my house, and use the iPod functionality to run thru an amplifier and power speakers around the house in the roof space... that's about the only real use I can see for one, having an iPhone already and a laptop..

I bought one a few weeks back. My initial thoughts were that I'd have no use for it but it has turned out to be an awesome gadget to have. It's a great browsing experience, the magazine apps are brilliant and the Bloomberg app is absolute gold (far more detailed than the iPhone version). It would be great for watching movies while travelling aswell.

I mainly use it for browsing the web while watching TV. It's replaced my laptop for lazy web browsing since it's always ready to go, it doesn't heat up, it's way faster (it's ridiculously fast over Wi-Fi) and has awesome battery life. I'd say that if you are going to use it for lazy browsing, travelling, or as a part of your media centre, then get one. Otherwise, I'm not so sure...

For those of you who think that this will replace your laptop - it won't and it was never intended to.

Agreed 100%. I got one the week they were release in the US and find it awesome. It is true that it is more for consuming data than creating it, but having said that the Pages (apples version of Word) application seems pretty good at first glace.

It will have multi-tasking when iPhone4 OS is released, but to be honest it is so quick at opening and closing programs I don't really need it at the moment.

I have an iPhone, netbook & a PC....hard to justify buying one of these too.

I dont need an ipad, I already have a pile of old bricks in the back yard!

I am a huge apple fan and can't see a reason to buy it for myself. However I am thinking of getting one (non 3g) for my wife as an e reader as she wants a kindle, I think she will find more functionality out of the ipad.
