Yes. The Slate 500 is a full function Win 7 machine. It is about the same price as a 64GB iPad. And you can connect keyboards, mice, use it as a netbook, etc. But you are paying a premium for the function. It is much more versatile, but do you need all of this capability?
If you don't have a phone which can tether the iPad, I think the 3G one would be a good choice. I have a 3.5G phone which readily connects and can also generate a wifi hot-spot. If you don't, consider the 3G.
For surfing, reading, PDF files, e-mail, the iPad would be fine. I am thinking of a low cost wifi one for my wife.
