Re: Apple iPad
Dh bought it for himself... and he bought me one too as a surprise!  He pre ordered them weeks ago so they were delivered today.
It's currently synching my photos. So far I love it... I LOVE my iPod touch but thought it was too small, so it's exactly what I wanted. I wanted just, like, a net book & a 'toy' to play games (I LOVE the app games!), movies.
I know it's not great for most people but it's EXACTLY what i wanted, it's perfect for my needs.
ETA: I have no need for the 3G - the wifi is all i need.

me too! we went to see it but i'm holding out for the 3G....i may try to actually hold out until the 2nd generation comes out b/c i'm convinced it will have a camera and be able to load flash on the web, which this one can't do. but still.....it's so nice and of course i was drooling over it today!

Re: Apple iPad
The Loop reports that Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster has released a report estimating first-day iPad sales in the range of 600,000-700,000, well above his pre-launch estimates of 200,000-300,000.
Piper Jaffray Senior Research Analyst, Gene Munster, on Saturday said he believes Apple sold between 600-700 thousand iPads on the first day. This includes the pre-orders that would have been coming in since March 12.
It is unclear from the report exactly what data Munster based his estimate upon beyond an observation of 730 customers in line at the company's flagship Fifth Avenue location in New York City, up from 350 for the iPhone 3GS launch and 540 for the iPhone 3G.
Some observers have claimed that the iPad is poised to outsell the original iPhone over the initial few months of sales, and given that the iPhone took 74 days to reach one million units sold, Munster's estimate places the iPad well on its way to that goal.
Today's launch was also limited to Wi-Fi models and to the United States. 3G-capable models in the U.S. and all models in a number of other countries are set for launch later this month, undoubtedly setting the stage for another burst of sales.

If we get one, we'll be waiting for the 3G too. After everything I have read, seems kinda silly to get the version that was just released.

Re: Apple iPad
I don't like buying the first generation of anything that expensive, I like to wait and see. The fact that you cannot get view flash based websites on it is really a big reason why I'm not sure if I want it at all, but I'm willing to see how people like it before I count it out entirely.
It is a lot of money and look what happened with the first generation iphone, people got it and then a few months later the price dropped.

Re: Apple iPad
We bought the 64G for DH yesterday. (DH decided he didn't need the 3G.)
I know one of the NYC locations sold out because my BIL stopped in to pick us up one, but when we went to Walt Whitman, they told us they had plenty or 32G & 64G and didn't expect to sell out that day.
DH is psyched.  He made mention of getting me one, but I have no need for it. I already have a Macbook and iPhone, as does he, but I don't travel like he does. The iPad is ideal for his use: movies, tv shows and books.
