I don't think I'll buy an iPad 64GB. Even the 16GB seems too expensive. The only thing that seem better from the iPad specs is battery life is about double.

User experience is very different. Specs don't tell the story. If you're a die hard windows guy, then the slate makes sense. If you're not, then I think the iPad is a much cleaner/easier/elegant choice.
