I think I am going to wait another generation or two and get one then. I think this technology is a bit too young for me to buy just yet.
Plus, I rarely surf without running other programs (like LR, PS or uploading) | | | |

What Thomas said....I wasn't an early adopter on digital cameras either. It'll take 2-3 turns to get good across-the-board quality, though the Xoom is my favorite in the bunch so far.

Right now, I would honestly rather pay a little more and get an MacBook Air.
A 64GIG iPad is $700. Or I could get a 64 GIG SSD 11" Refurbished MacBook Air for $150 more.
The MBA seems like the no-brainer to me. Full-functionality, about the same size, even lets you view flash websites. | | | |

Holding out as well. Like Thomas, I may just spend the extra money on getting a Mac Book Air, but I want to wait until there is a least some HDD storage increase. With Mac's, you have to actually plan on the purchase of a new item. Otherwise, the next gen will be released before you know it.

I think Zoom is the biggest contender for the current iPad but we don't know what iPad 2will be like in couple / few months later...I'm sure iPad 2 will be better than the Zoom. | | | |

I currently have an iPad, and it paid for itself the first time I sat down with a client and she went "Oh WOW! Is that an iPad?!?!?!" I sold her every single thing I had to offer after that. Not to mention it was a tax deduction for business use, LOL!

I can't imagine why I would want a camera on my iPad.

The xoom looks best to me on this list, but they left off a few specs that really mean a lot to me...
When I am ready, I will be looking for
USB
HDMI out
expandable memory
replaceable battery
dule core (or quad by the time I get around to getting one)
2 GB DDR2 ram
