I had mine delivered from China on April 3rd since I ordered it the day it was available for ordering. I got the 64GB unit and its an amazing device.
I think the reviewer I read that said it was the first information consumer device had it about right. There is no manual, you just press the big button and start poking and sliding your way around it. Its very snappy, the screen is beautiful and the ipad apps are very intuitive (but I also have an iPhone). Instead of keeping my laptop by my TV room chair, I have my iPad on its stand. When you want to do that quick email check (or query IMDB.org while watching a movie to get the real scoop on it), its perfect. Its not for programming or multi-page writing but the touch keyboard when in landscape view is almost the size of a mini keyboard. It should kill the netbook craze as well as the Kindle (anyone want to buy a used Kindle DX)? The Kindle app on the iPad is really nice and the iBook app is even nicer. I wish you could natively read pdf files but that means Apple allows Adobe to exist on the same planet and that obviously isn't happening. My wife is wavering on getting one. She wavered on the iPhone also and now things its the best device she has ever seen. I predict my iPad will become hers when the next gen comes around.
