I'm interested in experimenting with a device of this size. Using my phone for surfing is fine as far as it goes, but it's a bit small and fiddly. And my laptop is too heavy to take everywhere. I've found the PRS900 practical to carry about for reading, so a wider range of functions in a similar format could be great.
I've often been tempted by apple devices, because they are often aesthetically pleasing, with a well-thought out interface, but the only one that I've bought is a second-hand ipod that I could flash the rom on (I run rockbox), because I don't like to be locked into itunes (or any such restricted scheme). So, I think I'll pass on the ipad (I have to today, because I'm not in the US!) and look at something else - ideally something that can do books and surfing. The Notion Ink looks interesting for that.
