Probably not.
It was a bit of a let down, but the way it was hyped that was to be expected. The product still seems pretty good, probably the closest to what I think a Tablet PC should be, but it is lacking in many ways.
All in all these are the reasons why I won't get it for now though (besides financial)
does ipad have wings? Is it more absorbent than the leading brand?

I think it is more directly competing against a netbook, in-between a smartphone and a laptop. I do have use for such a device, just this one doesn't fullfill all my needs, one big turn off is the lack of a camera. Then there's also no multitasking, no USB ports, Apple's horribly closed approach to their platforms, etc.
Mad TV did it years before the ipad was announced.

I know that even saying this makes me into an old fart but I don't like touch screens. I think it comes from working at a cell phone company for 2 months and getting a thousand complaints from people muting mid-conversation cause of their cheek hitting the phone.
That or the whole concept of a 30 gig touchscreen flashy ipod being more expensive than a 160 gig classic.

I think the iPod touch has additional features. I personal like touchscreens, and didn't have any problems with my G1 for the year I have it now. There are solutions to help with the phone thing, but even then it wouldn't be a problem with the iPad, since you wouldn't put it to your face...probably.
I personally don't think watching movies on a relatively tiny screen or playing Metal Gear Solid with your finger is worth it.

I don't know, having an extremely portable screen to surf the internet or watch a movie anywhere you are. I already see the advantage on a 3 inch smartphone screen, a 8-10 inch tablet would honestly be my perfect device, if the specs were right.
