Anyone have an Ipad?
And if you do, what do you think of it? I am contemplating one ( have an iphone and love it) or a netbook or a laptop, but want something easily portable and easy to use one handed...take it to babies room or around the house anywhere.

I have one - too heavy for one-handed use, IMO - really need to rest it on something. With no camera and no USB port, I find it not very useful for anything more than e-mail, casual web browsing, and a couple of games. The NetFlix app is cool, I just wish their streaming library was larger. Outside of testing our software (what I use it for 75% of the time), I just grab it to check e-mail/browse when I don't feel like pulling my laptop out of my bag and starting it up. I would never buy one with my own $$$, that's for certain. I'd rather purchase a netbook for much less or spen a little more and go with a Lenovo x200 tablet PC.

What are you wanting to do with it? Like Lee says, tablets are very limited.

Mostly browsing net. Some music maybe reading electronic books. Whatever will keep me sane for 4 or 5 am feedings.

I would get a cheap netbook and an e reader for slightly more than the cost of the cheapest ipad. I cant speak highly enough about the current batch of e readers, ive had both a kindle and a nook, and love them both, plus the nook has internet capabilities, although it is very limited.
