My husband bought an IPad and I am the one who uses it. I like to use it while I am on the couch in the evening watching TV. I can search Craigslist, the MLS, facebook, Active Rain, and Google for information for my business, my life, and even get ideas for blogs on Active Rain. I really like the keyboard and the screen is clear and good size to use and view. It is relaxing and easier for me to use in that setting than a laptop.
I also like the book feature on the Ipad. It is so nice to download books and not have to carry books around or waste all that paper. My husband has downloaded movies and apps and tunes as well. He even has the google voice activated.
Our IPad is a 3G model. I would like to get a 4G so I could have the mobile capability when wireless is not available, like when I am showing homes and we pull up in front of a home and the clients what the pictures and information.
I also purchased a very nice microfiber cloth at Fry's Electronics ( 6 cloths for $5) that is amazing for cleaning the screen.
I suggest everyone get an IPad. It is a useful tool for business and relaxation too.

Thanks so much for your comments. My first computer way too many years ago was a Mac. However, for years a PC was the only way to go for business. I've been thinking about the ipad, but was concerned about the switch back. your comments have opened my thinking once more. Thanks again.
