I've got an Android phone (the first, the Google G1), and love the phone. After having the phone for a while, when the iPad came out, I immediately recognized that the iPad would definitely fill a need. The ipad is like having a PC anywhere you are in the house. It's much more portable than a laptop or netbook. It's not perfect. There is room for improvement in the software, but I believe that is coming (soon actually). I'd like to have seen some nice Android alternatives, but so far there's not much worth considering. I'm sure there will be. I think the ipad hardware is nice. I've had mine for about a week and I love it.
