I'm debating if to get one because I've got an i-Phone, a Macbook Pro, an i-Touch, and 3 i-pods. The price is really appealing:
16G Wifi - $499
64G Wifi+3G - $829
I-pad itself is stunningly sleek, thin and elegant. I was most amazed at its battery life - 10 hours running and 1 month standby. OMG! Hard to believe.
Some lucky folks from Engadget got to try this new toy before it was released. here are some of their reviews. They may help you decide whether to get one or not.
1. It’s not light. It feels pretty weighty in your hand.
2. The screen is stunning, and it’s 1024×768. Feels just like a huge iPhone in your hands.
3. The speed of the CPU is something to be marveled at. It is blazingly fast from what we can tell. Webpages loaded up super fast, and scrolling was without a hiccup. Moving into and out of apps was a breeze. Everything flew.
4. There’s no multitasking at all. It’s a real disappointment. All this power and very little you can do with it at once. No multitasking means no streaming Pandora when you’re working in Pages… you can figure it out. It’s a real setback for this device.
5. The ebook implementation is about as close as you can get to reading without a stack of bound paper in your hand. The visual stuff really helps flesh out the experience. It may be just for show, but it counts here.
6. No camera. None, nada. Zip. No video conferencing here folks. Hell, it doesn’t have an SMS app!
7. It’s running iPhone OS 3.2.
8. The keyboard is good, not great. Not quite as responsive as it looked in the demos.
9. No Flash confirmed.
Besides, click on the video below, and have a closer look at the new i-Pad.

I might wait till it comes out with a built-in camera. What's your decision, folks!
