Love it. Of course it's easier to edit text with a keyboard and mouse, but that's not holding me back. If it weren't for Steam coming out for the Mac, my iMac would pretty much be asleep or off most of the time now.
The wife will be getting one sometime in the near future.

Love mine! The wifi works very well for me at home. Took it to work and it performed beautifully, their are a few PC animatics people who have not left the "dark side", and yet a bunch of people loved what they saw. Battery lasts forever compared to old MBP, the use of HTML 5 is great, however there are a few sites still using Flash, but not enough to annoy.

I'm a little irked that I can't put an AMP stack on it, but other than that, it's OK - If it wasn't for that, I'd quit a laptop. Got it for the kids, but a lot of kid stuff is Flash, so they like laptops better, for the time being.
Like it enough to get a 3G one for a mobile-ready outdoor kiosk, driving a 32" HDTV - Low power footprint enables solar ( w/1000W whisper quiet Honda backup { way overkill, but 1000W is the smallest whisper quiet } ) - This mobile-ready setup ( internet access ) easily and cheaply attainable with the 3G iPad. I can easily see all kinds of retail adjuncts with the 3G iPad ( or the wifi ).

I'm on the road with it for the first time In earnest and am loving it!
Absolutely nothing better for watching movies on an airplane and we tied it into the video system backstage which was cool. Looks like we'll be able to do rudimentary projection with the iPad in it's current state, but hopefully with future revs it'll have a bit more capability.
Other than that, it's very handy to not have to drag out one of the laptops just to pen an email or post something here ;-)
Downsides are the very weak connectivity with the iPhone, which I thought would really have been a no-brainer, and the lack of multitasking, which of course should be at last partially solved with the os update later this fall ...
Couln not care less about lack of flash support =D
Overall very pleased especially given it's a rev 1 product ...
i haven't run into wanting Flash yet. i have just the Wifi version, but i plan to jailbreak my iPhone and share its internet with my iPad. i love reading on the iPad. i wish there was a Facebook app already and i wish i had a Twitter tool that could handle 2 accounts, but otherwise, i really like it. i like that i can use Perfect Browser and it will let me appear to be any other browser (e.g., i can surf looking like Firefox to access non iPad pages you'd get using default Safari, etc.). if i could work with Google Docs on my iPad then i could almost get rid of my laptop since i have a Mac Pro for my real work anyway.
