My office bought one of these a year ago to try it out. It was extremely heavy for a tablet and the person who was going to use it just couldn't use it for what she wanted to do. Basically it was meant as a way for a Professor to bring it to class and meetings, take notes, do presentations and all kinds of stuff the iPad seems to be aiming at. I think in the end the iPad will have a market. No where near the iPhone but a decent size. I think this is going to replace the MacBook Air.

Personally, I'm waiting for the android tablet about to come out from MSI. I prefer android as a platform. But the iPad is far from the failure people seem to claim it is. It's built for a certain kind of user and they usually have the money to spend on this stuff. I can think of doctors,lawyers and professors as people who already use similar devices.
