The iPad is never out of my sight since i bought it 3 months back.
It's especially useful at uni for me, and i do everything on it. It's also much lighter than anything else on the market which makes it good for carrying around at uni.
I was a bit disappointed i didn't just wait for the iPad 2, but after the reviews i've been seeing, it doesn't seem that much of a step up. It's just got an added sh*t quality camera and a hardly noticeable speed boost.
I definitely recommend using an iPad.
