As in, you want to get one? Or that you want to start a discussion about it?

I'll bite, either way.

The iPad isn't a full-blown computer (which, may be what some people are looking for). It's instead a part of the product line that Apple is considering "mobile," that is, to be used on-the-go, with the assumption that you have another computer somewhere else that'll sync with the iPad. Unless I've missed something, it's the same with iPad 2 as it is in the first iPad: you have to have a computer first in order to use it. For most this isn't a problem, but I mention it mostly because it's telling of how Apple considers this product line.

If I'm going to spend $500+ on a "computer," it's going to have to get the basics right:

• It has to be able to stand by itself.
• It has to have a real filesystem that I can reliably use to manage the rest of my files that reside in real filesystems. Simply having a list of pictures and documents doesn't impress me.
• I'm always interested in how computers connect to things. As in: if I can't connect to something in my house, that thing has essentially become useless. Can't use it to browse my movie collection? Oh dear. It's also USB, Wireless, or nothing else. The fact that I can't do file transfers over 100Mb Ethernet means I don't have efficient access to any of my files.
• Extreme lack of configurability / extendability. Simply adding an app doesn't satisfy.
• No basic ability to program, script, or otherwise automate tasks. I do this all the time: if I don't have access to a command line, or something equivalent, again, not very useful.

I like the battery life. I like that they're improving performance. I could care less about the fancy cover. I still have some problems with the design of the device. For instance, given their "9x" graphics, why wouldn't they give you an HDMI out? Or give you the ability to replace the hard drive if it failed?

If you have a relatively recent laptop that you're happy with, I'd find these to be a hard sell, unless you're just going for pure Apple gadgetry.
