Agreed. I love the idea of the iPad (I enjoy my iphone) but I already have a 10" netbook which is very portable and offers me a lot more in terms of what you can do with it. So, as much as I love gadgets, I can't see how having an iPad would be an improvement over what I already use.
However, if I were to win one, I woudn't say no
Now, if they brought out an iPad which was bigger than the iPhone but smaller than the current iPad - probably around 6-7" - I would be much more interested because it would a) be less expensive and b) be something I could easily take out and about in a bag/large pocket.
