If I did get an iPad it would probably be worth spending $20 for an anti-glare screen protector.

Actually, the difference between the MacBook Pro Hi-res glossy and anti-glare screens are $50. I'm not sure if the new iPad already has an Anti-glare coating... bit I expect not because it does mute the colors a bit.
