As much as I would like to get one, I will wait for 2nd or probably 3rd iteration of this. I expect that this will be a very useful device and will be a way to consume content on the go. Smartphones are great because there was nothing like them before. But the iPad will be better for websurfing and watching video and working with apps. It will also do basic tasks pretty well. It i not for heavy word processing, but neither is a smartphone. However, there are drawbacks. I’ll wait until those are worked out.
