My opinions only, feel free to disagree....
I bought a 3G 16 mg on the Apple Store, arrived about 8-10 days after ordering....
The workmanship on my iPad appears to be flawless, it is impressive to hold and touch without evening turning it on, a number of people I have shown it to have also commented on that....
I really like the Apple case, where the front cover flips over to hold it in typing position or stands it up.....
Having no connectivity issues like I have seen reported....
A lot of the Apps made just for the iPad suddenly quit when I am using them, especially the news readers, probably because I spend so much time on them, but all of them, the NY Times, USA Today, AP have quit on me at least once. I am guessing this is to be expected because they are all version 1.whatever and they had to write these apps for a device they couldn't touch....
I have now taken off any apps for the iPhone only, can't stand the way they look on the iPad, I can wait until the updates....
Video on this thing is beautiful.....
I have read on this site where a lot of people say that you don't need an iPad, they are right, you don't need it..... But Wild Horses couldn't drag me away from it now....
I can't type or spell to save my life, but the spell checker/auto corrector/guess which word I am trying to type thing, it is amazing....
The keyboard in the landscape mode is a lot larger than I thought it was going to be......
Finally, I have read a lot in the media where they say it slots somewhere in-between a smart phone and a laptop, and that it can't replace a laptop...
They are right, my iPad with the hardware and software on it now cannot replace a laptop, however, I can see the day, (and sooner than most of us would have thought) that it will be able to quite easily.
Oh-and thanks to all the people that post so much helpful information in this forum, I have learned much from you guys, (and gals). Be well.

There's going to be so much stuff that other people will be able to bring to the table now that it's going to be in 9 (i believe?) more countries.
