I have owned an iPad for several months now, and I have to say that I am reasonably impressed. It is the 3G version and honestly does have some utility as an email machine on the road, and as an entertainment device. It doesn't replace my laptop, but I can do a number of the things on it that used to require breaking out and booting up the laptop, as well as some things that I couldn't do on the laptop as I don't have a 3G card for it.
The iPad should be lighter and more feature rich, and certainly needs to be less expensive, so its not ideal (yet). Despite these criticisms, I find the iPad to be a useful device, and my guess is that some of the shortcomings will be rectified in the next generation or two of devices.
Lots of competitive tablets are on the way, so expect the market to drive extensive innovation in the next few years.
