I need to ask: after a week with your iPad, are you satisfied with your purchase?

Love it, love it even more since I jailbroke my phone and got MyWi working. This is by no means a replacement for my MBP, but it's super portable. Does all the things I expect it to (very well), and the battery life is great.
 
I LOVE LOVE my iPad and consider one of the best purchases I've made in ages. I use it a lot and get loads of enjoyment from it. It's awesome!! :D
:apple::apple::apple:
 
I got bored of it after a few hours of playing with it and returned it the following day. It's a waste of money and nothing more than a giant iPod Touch. Good riddance! Bring on the JooJoo!

:p

I'm very happy with it. It's doing more than I had expected -- I got it to bring my MIL into the 21st century, but I figured she would balk. She hasn't, in fact she's picking it up and using it without requiring any help. :eek: Now I'm thinking of getting one for myself. :D
 
Another happy iPad owner here! I simply love using my iPad more than my Macbook Air. Especially for reading books / comic books! As more and more apps are available for iPad, it will only get better!
 
Let's just say that my MacBook pro is collecting dust at home while im at starbucks typing on my iPad :D

I do all my school work on this piece of beauty.
 
Love my iPad. As soon as the 3G is out I'm giving this one to the wife and kids. My 3 year old loves to play the kids games on it and it's a good learning device.
 
I absolutely love mine. We will probably end up getting a second one for regular family use pretty soon. I haven't turned on my laptop since the iPad arrived.
 
I love my iPad! I'm using it more and more each day. I have an iMac and am using
it less now.
My only regret was not waiting for the 3G, but I'll rectify that with the next generation.
My only complaint is the lack of a cleaning cloth and the selection on iBooks.
 
I'm also in the 'satified-club'. I bring it to work everyday now and for the first time I actually hang around in Starbucks.
 
I began setting money aside when it was announced in Jan. My iPad has relieved my iPhone which replaced my laptop years ago, for home use anyway.
When I leave home I pocket the iPhone as usual, but for around my abode it's mostly iPad.

My main computing hardware consists of a Mac Mini, iPhone 3G, and iPad Wifi 64GB.

Very happy with all of them, each has their place and they all compliment each other perfectly.

MobileMe keeps em all in sync too, which is fantastic.
 
100% satisfied. The iPad has more than lived up to my expectations. I still have no desire for the 3G version. My iPad will spend it's life wandering around my house and providing entertainment on business flights.
 
100% satisfied. Love browsing the web and watching movies on it. I can't wait for apps to develop more and become less bugggy. Can't wait of OS 4 either. My iphone is feeling abandoned right now
 
I have the 64gb wifi and its def the best thing ive bought in a long time. Yes it was expencive but for what i need its just right. Its replacing both of my hackintosh netbooks now. My macbook pro is kinda lonly right now...cept for when i need to download something or sync new music or something. I definatly wouldnt trade it for anything right now.
 
I was a bit skeptical before i got the ipad.

But after using it for a week, im feel the same way when i bought my first ipod, this is really a game changer.

And its not just that its a good device for me, but for everyone i showed it for, they loved it, and could understand the easy os/interface.
 
I absolutly love my iPad so far! I got the 32gb wifi model for my wife, but I'm borrowing it until my 3G shows up. It's fast and works great. I'm in a Barnes and Noble drinking a vanilla chai latte while posting this on my iPad. Couldn't be happier.
 
Yes, love it. I have a Quad Core 27" desktop at home, and an iPhone 3GS. I wanted something portable for sitting on the sofa, or a coffee shop. I wanted an e-reader (had a Kindle for a while) iPad does it perfectly. Now with the announcements in the upcoming OS 4.0, even better.
 
There's a long list of things I can and will gripe about until Apple adds/fixes them, however, I haven't touched my MacBook Pro or iMac once in the last week, and even my trusty iPhone has barely been getting used. So yeah, no regrets at all, iPad is one of the most awesome pieces of technology I've ever owned.

Everyone who uses it loves it, until I tell them the price. I think its about $100-200 too expensive, at every level.

Well, the iSuppli teardown reveals the components on the cheap model cost about $260. So if you want Apple to sell it for $300-$400, that means they will basically make zero profit, factoring in all the other costs involved — years of R&D, marketing, testing, patent protection, etc. I think it's rather amazingly priced for what it does and I would have even paid more for it.
 
Love the iPad with its good sized screen, though I can't get much typing done with the virtual keyboard. Thankfully I have the optional keyboard for serious typing but that's another item to take on the road.

I ran into a situation today where my iPhone 3GS wasn't getting a good 3G signal and there were no WiFi hotspots nearby for it or the iPad WiFi. Thankfully I had the Sprint Overdrive with me. It had a strong 4G signal so both the iPhone and iPad were able to access the internet.

That has convinced me that the ultimate iPad needs more options than AT&T 3G and community WiFi. Having the Sprint 4G (WiMax) network as a backup is a nice internet security blanket -- until AT&T can offer better coverage for 3G (and get 4G operational).

The main missing feature is an iSight camera.
