My neighbor bought one last week. I must say, there's something unusually comfortable about laying back in the couch and surfing the net. I do it know with my iPhone from time to time, but that really is too clumsy to do any power-surfing; it's just too small. In any event, while the lack of support of flash is a deal-killer for me, I could see how these things could really take off.
If something that Apple will support replaces flash as the preeminent video delivery platform in the near future (which seem highly unlikely), iPad could really establish for themselves the dominant position in a rapidly growing market. It will be interesting to see who blinks first, Adobe or Apple.
Went to CBS to download it. Their Flash player skipped and stuttered all through it, and when we went back to review part of the recorded video,, the #$%*& thing lost its place. Rather than replaying smoothly, it started up stutter-downloading again. Then when we attempted to re-record, it produced TWO simultaneous recordings -- staggered a few seconds apart.
