Well I've played around with my iPad for a couple of weeks now and I love it but it's not perfect.

Pros

•·        Size/weight is perfect, 1 ½ pounds

•·        Battery life is fantastic, over 10 hours of use

•·        Screen is fantastic, 10" backlit, multi touch

•·        Gets attention (too much at times), great ice breaker at an open house or coffee shop

•·        Instant on, doesn't take several minutes to boot up like my PC

•·        Checking email is quick (including most attachments)

•·        Surfing the web is very convenient and the colors are vivid (most sites)

•·        Music from my iPod can be shared

•·        Videos and photographs are fantastic

•·        Games are blast (at least that's what my kids say)

•·        Ap Store has countless free or inexpensive downloads (mortgage calculators, etc.)

•·        Book reading is convenient, much less bulky than paper books

 

Cons

•·        Adobe Flash incompatibility, does not work with MLXChange

•·        Adobe PDF limited compatibility (read only), does not work with webForms

•·        Multitasking is limited, you can listen to music while you work, but can't have two windows/aps open simultaneously

•·        No USB port

•·        Kids always want to use it

 

So it's not perfect, certainly as a Realtor I still rely on my PC but you'll have a hard time convincing me to give it up.
