I'd love to buy an iPad, but the bas$%&#s still aren't selling them yet in my country (NL). Don't know what's up with that, as just about every other Euro country has them at least for pre-order! It's June already and they promised Apr/May worldwide (I thought).

The Euro prices tend to be a little screwy - since when does $499 = €499? Only in the Apple-verse, I guess. Even with VAT and import it's a little skewed.

Oh well, I'll just keep experiencing the iPad vicariously by reading about everyone else's usage...
