Hi,

I am wondering who is going to buy one ? Are you going to sell your MacBook for a iPad ? Are you going to use a iPad instead of your MacBook, iPhone, iPod, etc… ?

Myself, I am going to sell my MacBook Pro 13 inch for one or two iPads (if two, one for my wife). The reason is, I am often "mobile" and always using my iPhone for everything (I do not carry my MacBook because it would not be suitable for my situation). And for my wife, she is studying, and the iPad seems perfect for her situation.

Having an iPad, I can do more than what I can do on my iPhone and its portability is a compromise between the MacBook and iPhone. As well, maybe it lacks of a camera and GPS, but the fact that it seems more powerful and more screen estate, future apps can be very promising (see what they have done for iPhone, imagine what can be done for iPad).

Thats it from me, very briefly :)

I'm getting just because I can & tend to buy a lot of Apple products.
 
If Apple sells one iPad for every person who has started a survey thread about who is going to buy an iPad, it will be a huge success.
