I have a tablet but I am thinking about the iPad. I realize that this wont be a main computer, And I Will not have it as a Replacment for my laptop. It appears to be a bit more of a toy then a production tool to me... Is this true?

If it was me, I'd wait for the second generation to come out. I think they're currently over priced, which is something I usually never say, I'm typically the guy that defends Apple when others call them over priced, but in this case I think Apple did go overboard with the price. $499 for 16GB... I paid $100 less for my 64GB iPod touch. Yeah you get a bigger screen, but a lot less storage space.

So I would wait a year and see if the next generation comes with any new hardware features, like a camera, and maybe a price drop.

If the iPad had a camera now, then I would say go ahead and buy one. But since it doesn't, I would wait for the second generation.

@nepdude101 The iPad here is $629 is the 16GB Wi-Fi + 3G model in America, $499 for the Wi-Fi only model. What are the price differences in the UK? Is the £429 for the Wi-Fi only, or Wi-Fi + 3G model?

That's not overpriced compared to what it will most likely cost in Norway. 930 bucks. That's what you call overpriced. I agree wait til 2nd gen comes out, maybe with an iSight camera and photo booth for iPad. A retina display would also be awsome.

Do you know the price of LCD screens? iPads have huge LCD screens.
