The wifi version of the iPad is due for release on the 26th March with the 3g version following 30 days later. I suspect I'll be giving it a miss.
Sebby won't. :evil:
Steve , please can you point me to the source of the release date?
Sorry Mike http://www.macrumors.com/2010/03/02/apple-ipad-to-go-on-sale-friday-march-26th/ I suppose there is a question mark against it.
http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2010/03/03/apple_ipad_26_march_debut/ also has some details
Looks like April now,well definitely for Europe.

Sebby will be getting twitchy for the next few weeks. :)
People seem to think it will be the e reader of choice which puzzles me, I thought the battery life would squash that idea.

Justification for buying the iPad?
For me, it's too big.
It will fall out of the hole in the pocket its made though. Back to the battery life the kindle will last about a week without re charge the ipad 10 hours.
Apple users are used to daily re-charging I guess.
Certainly they are with the iPhone.

Yes :rant2:
iPhone is always on charge! to many phone calls ;D
I leave bluetooth and 3G on these days and just charge it every night.
I get about a day and a half from mine. It's the only real problem with the iPhone but fortunately you can find plug sockets or USB sockets just about anywhere these days!
I get the same as Lance maybe longer, I have 3G and push turned off. The ipad is not going to be entering my household, even though sitting with it on the sofa would be good, more comfy than a netbook its just to limited, requires yet another 3G data plan (no 3G where I live) or uses my wifi...tbh for the little browsing I do away from the Mac, the PS3 or the iPhone do me well enough, or Justina's Laptop, although the iPad would make a great iPhone for giants I guess.
