I have 3 laptops at home, and I still think it will be useful. My wife
really wants one. She has a desktop machine, but its tucked away
upstairs, so inconvenient while herding the kids. She has a laptop,
but, well, you need a lap (or table or what have you) to use it. She
has an iphone, but the screen is tiny. Ergo, she really wants an iPad
for around the house. And who am I to argue? :) I just want one to
play with occasionally. I'm planning to pick up a 32GB/3G model once
they're available at the Apple Store in Nashua. No real plans to use
3G, but its nice to have just in case, and you also get GPS, another
nice to have -- hey, its only another $130...
