I won't say it's a "no brainer" but I'm certainly interested in buying one. I travel constantly and you can't just whip out and set up the laptop to look at some quick files, surf the web for some information or watch a movie or show. I've been doing a bit of that on my iPhone but it will be nice to have the larger screen. My decision now is to go with 3g or skip it (64G memory is a must). I keep waffling between the two.

If the iPad had a built in camera (for video phone abilities) and/or a SD card slot built in (the dongle is nice, but it's something else to carry, sigh) it would be a "no brainer" for me. Maybe in the next version.

What remains to be seen is if it will replace my Sony Reader Touch but I think it will. My carry-on bag is already crowded.
