I have a BeBook and a PB360, as well as an iRex DR1000S, so at the moment I'd like the iPad before I get another eInk device.
I will keep using my PB360 for general reading - great battery life, brilliant reader functions (esp. FB2 - ePub still sucks, but that's an ePub issue on all readers), very compact/light size.
Strangely, I never had an interest in iPhones. I am a bit of a Mac fanboy (I have an iMac and MacBook Pro, plus an older PPC PowerBook G4), but have not had the slightest interest in iPod Touch or iPhone. I have friends with iPhones that have never used Macs, and they keep insisting my life would be somehow better with an iPhone, but I just can't see it. But I hate mobile phones in general, which is why I probably never wanted an iPhone, so I have the most basic and compact phone I can get away with. I certainly don't need a bulky iPhone that's too small for serious computing - I still don't have an iPhone, and never will.
But iPad appeals to me because it's big enough to be used for normal computer tasks, but compact enough to be much easier to transport than even a laptop. And the point-and-do approach appeals to my wife, a non-tech person, as I'm sure it will to many others who don't feel the need to know what's going on "under the hood".
