I too will be buying one to compliment my iMac and iPhone. However you really need a computer for the iPad to work as it should. It isn't really a stand alone device.
I know but some members here are talking about replacing their computer for the iPad.![]()
I will buy one to replace my iBook G4 next to my iMac... I am planning on completely switching from MS Office to iWork at the same time since iWork supports Microsoft documents... we'll see how that goes.![]()
Theoretically using iDisk and online services, you could use iPad as a stand alone device since you don't need to connect to a physical computer to get ressources on it (iTunes store, AppStore, iBookstore, general web etc...)...
Then again, you would have to litterally live in an Apple bubble...

Spooky, that's exactly what I intend to do. The wife will be getting a new MBP once the new ones are released sp she can ditch her ageing Toshiba laptop, and so the house will become Microsoft free, using iWorks will be a part of that.
The iPad will never replace my notebook. But, I can see it replacing my iPod Touch.
Also, updating the OS of the iPad will more than likely only be possible using a PC, we can only base that on how it is now. You never know, they may find a way to implement updates direct to the device, then it truly can be a standalone device....just throwing that out there.
i feel having an iMac, Macbook Pro, iPad and iPhone will be to much.
I am keeping the Macbook at home and taking this baby out for a date.
You make it sound like you are cheating on your macbook. Shame on you.
At least is not cheating on his Macbook with a cheap PC Netbook ! Now THAT would be a total shame...![]()
