I've finally bought an iPad 2, and I can say im impressed so far. I must admit it would be infinitely more awesome with flash, but I use it around work to run diagnostic programs and status monitors on my servers/Equilogic boxes and it does that wonderfully. Nice and light.
Also worth noting: If you have an iPhone or a Droid, remember you can use personal hotspot to provide network connections to the device - dont waste money on a 3G version!
