I come a bit late to the discussion - but I thought I'd chime in anyway.
Even without getting into merits of iPad as a device itself, I agree with Doctorow on the most important issue here. Just the fact alone that Apple sells you a product with an Apple operating system which can only run Apple Approved (C) Applications sold by Apple Store with (coming in v4) Apple approved and delivered Ads - scares me to hell and back.
