I plan to sit on the fence until RIM comes out with their PlayBook and see what they offer in terms of features vs. price...

-Eye strain depends of the person. If I read a lot, I get eye strain (iPad is not my main ereader)
-Flash: depends of what you see or browse. Lack of Flash has some impact on me but not so big that makes browsing unusable. Amazon uses Flash, for example.
-Cameras are ok for Video Conference, but quality is poor for vacation shoots or things like that (I can't imagine myself taking pictures with iPad , lol)
Something good on iPad that I'm enjoying right now: tons, tons, tons of apps. I like the Xoom a lot, but not enough apps yet (for Honeycomb I mean) and it was too bulky for me, even when comparing to iPad 2. Xoom it is also pricey but Moto will release Wifi version soon, so that could catch some users.
I want to enjoy a device now and use more for fun or Magazines, that's why I went for the iPad 2.
