I'd get the 3G+WiFi one, but I don't want to wait an indeterminate number of days for it. And I already have an iPhone.

#22I could get a 10 inch iPhone for a lot, or a cheap Chinese media player that runs Linux for a third of the cost.
Re: Poll: Are you getting an iPad?
#23I'm not, but I'm very excited about this. Setting the bar at $500 means the android equivalent will be within my price range. Unlike others, I'm actually buying a netpad for the touchscreen keyboard. If you have chronic RSI, the soft touch needed more than makes up for the clunkiness of tactileless typing.
For RSI-class problems what also matters is positioning of your wrists (they shouldn't be bent). Which is why I'm using a FingerWorks TouchStream keyboard when my RSI gets bad — it has both touch typing and a bent design, which keeps my wrists straight.

#24Needs: 'No and I won't let any of my family or friends buy one either'
You must be fun at Christmas parties.

#25Where's the "I'm not stupid enough to buy the first version of anything" option?
The "No" option.
Re: Poll: Are you getting an iPad?
#26Depends on how jailbreakable it is.
Re: Poll: Are you getting an iPad?
#27Yeah, I'm interested in one. I've never purchased an Apple product, but this pad looks pretty neat.
Re: Poll: Are you getting an iPad?
#28No. I've had it with apple. I bought a few of their products. They're beautiful and clever, but eventually I always end up feeling humiliated by how evil they are - treating me as a user like I was a worthless money machine. Also I find it hard to imagine how I would use such a device - too big to put in my pocket, no e-ink, so it can't serve as a book reader and no keyboard, so I can't use it to create things.

#29perhaps buy a wifi/3g one and resell it on ebay? (they come unlocked...)
Re: Poll: Are you getting an iPad?
#30If it had a camera built-in, I'd seriously consider the 16GB 3G+WiFi, but without it, I have some reservations.
