I'm looking forward to hearing more about the NI Adam. The low end model has a different screen, LCD only I think. The iPad has a big price range, too, based on features so a range of $327-$800 for the Adam isn't that wide.
For usability I'd give this a very high rating as you can read magazine, comics and PDF in full screen without scrolling. And you can also surf the net, listen to music while reading or surfing or watch a movie or tv show. I see a big market for this as many people now use their notebook as their primary PC instead of a full desktop PC. This can replace that for most people who only surf and read email with their PC, which is a few million people. It's much lighter than a notebook and it won't get as hot either which are important comfort factors. I don't see myself taking this with me except for long trips but for home use it could easily replace my notebook PC and it's cheaper than most 15" notebooks. It will probably replace my Witstech A81 and Sony Reader as well.
As for apps, if it offers good options for video and music playback, ereaders and has Mozilla, I'm fine with just those. I don't expect to be able to play complicated games without a keyboard. It does have a trackpad on the back, though, so gaming may be possible.
