So far the reviews on this thing has been favorable. It has been said that is not aimed to be a replacement for a laptop but more a multimedia web based gadget.
I hate that if you want the data plan..you have to get it through AT&T. Although it has been publicized that the iPhone will no longer be an AT&T exclusive at the end of this year, they have not mentioned if other carriers would be able to support the iPad. If I had an extra $500 to spare, I would get one. I think it's a neat toy to have.

I heard that the price of the unit is reasonable, but each app costs between $3 to $5.
Guess we now know where Apple is making their $.

Also I am sure that free aps will be supported by the iPad. I would hate to find out that the media player aps will be something you would have to pay for.

no usb.
and I believe it can't utilize flash on sites. no camera (despite how much hype it gives itself for viewing pics... seems a bit counter productive). however, one of my good friends is an technology nerd and she says that as a whole... it's pretty awesome. she played with one in Japan. says it's not what people think it is but better than people have given it credit for.

Well, from talking to guys that own them, they cant do many things that any $400 PC can do, or even a Mac for that matter. No flash, no USB, you can only download content from apple. I can accept these things from a phone, I love my iPhone. But not from what is supposed to be a portable computer. I'm passing on the ipad.

no flash support is no biggie. all the big sites will have HTML 5 support sooner than later. i'm going to wait for the 3G model though.
