Hope you reserved your iPad. Apple just ran out.

I beg to differ with the hype that 'everyone is getting one'. I know LOADS of people (tech people, even ObjC devs) who are not getting one - either they don't want one from the first production run or they don't want one at all.

I'm building an iPad-orientated site for launch but I'm happy using the SDK and don't have any interest in actually owning one.

I'm not getting one, and it's not just because I barely earn enough to pay rent. I don't know what I would do with it. I have a laptop that I haven't even booted up in a year. I might get around to making some apps for it once Flash CS5 comes out with iPhone app export. I'd rather not bother with objective-C if I don't have to.

If you compare the iPad sales to that of the iPhone when it first came out it looks like the iPad will be at least as popular as the iPhone. Sure you probably can't just extrapolate like that but still, if I had to guess I'd take Apple's side.
