What do you use your iPad for?

e-mail, web browsing, books, I have a few hundred work related files, though most I just open via iDisk as needed.

If you and afford it I'd get at least 32 GB (I did and am wishing I got the 64 GB as I already have 16GB on board (though admittedly I could delete most of the music).

I do find 3G useful, because it is the mobility of the device that is so great. (I guess though that depends a little about where you live and the availability of WiFi hotspots.

If I had to do my purchase all over again, I would have got the 3G version. I ended up getting the Sprint Overdrive though, since I am close to a 4G tower some how.

The thing that's really lacking is sports. I don't watch much sports and I'm mostly content to just check scores online, but a big sports watcher will probably not be satisfied.

I've been traveling for a few weeks and got MLB.tv for a month so I could watch games on the road. The iPad version is wonderful. Works best on wifi, of course.

I've just bought a 32Gb 3G iPad and it is now a key part of my home media setup.

I have a mac mini hooked up to the TV, which I control using either remote desktop on the iPad (ie when girlfriend is watching tv so I can't see the screen), or using a virtual trackpad when I don't need to see the screen on my iPad but want to control the mouse etc.

I can also then remote desktop in to my Mac from anywhere else as well which is cool.

It is also my primary Internet machine, I use it in the living room for general Internet browsing, emails, reading news and feeds etc. It is basically my home computer now, as that fits with my consumption habits.

All in all it is absolutely awesome and I'm very happy with it, it has really changed how I feel about using the web etc and I can't imagine going back to a laptop/desktop.
