I am so mixed on this one. For $500 you get iWork and the eBook reader I assume (plus more), but only 16GB storage which is nothing these days. The main reason I want a tablet like this is basically for note taking and reading books (and ideally writing notes in the books for my reference). Therefore, storage really isn’t that big of a concern.
It looks as if there is no stylus which really sucks for me, but since it is a touch display, I can use a generic PDA stylus (won’t get pressure sensing though ... I had heard these iPads were going to support Wacom compliant pens).
That keyboard dock looks slick though and could be a decent substitute for a stylus.
The 3G is worthless to me as I have other means of accessing the net via a cellphone’s wifi. Wireless was mandatory for me though.
While this is the first Apple product I’ve found really appealing, I have the damndest feeling it is going to go the path of AppleTV simply because I really liked that, the Newton and other “failed” Apple products but hate iPods, iPhones, iMacs, etc.
I guess well know how they sell in a month or so! I’m definitely going to one of those filthy hippie Apple stores to check one out ASAP :-).

That would be a big deal...
