I was fortunate to pre-order my iPad, the same configuration as you are getting. I have had it since it’s initial availability and have loved it. I view the iPad as a great tool for consuming information. The email application is great. The Twitter app is better than any on the PC, including tweet deck. I religiously read the USA Today and NYTimes on-line daily usig their app. I take it with me when I travel and it has been a great tool. During a recent trade show, I slipped it into a small portfolio and was able to stay connected during the conference without carrying a bulky laptop.

I would love to hear from you regarding your experiences. Mine have been fantastic, and of course I am typing this on my iPad!
