I am very impressed. The look and feel reminds me of a fine piece of engineering such as one finds in upscale automobiles like a BMW. The weight is good and it's easy to use with one hand. I would not want to hold it for hours on end but I don't think in normal use that weight is going to be a problem.

It is fast and the UI responds instantly.

With the keyboard dock, the iPad will replace all the computer stuff I have on my coffee table right now; I normally just do email and surf the web in my living room so I'm fairly certain this thing could really simplify my daily computing needs. If I need to do some Photoshop or iMovie work, then I'll head to my home office and wake up one of my Macs.

Damn you Steven Paul Jobs, you evil genius you.

I figured the same thing out on the day the iPad came out.

Never looked back.

Thanks for posting this, I was really dying to find out what msuper69 thought about the iPad 2 months after it's release.

My sig is 1 pixel too big.

Interesting. I thought the exact opposite when I finally used one last month.
