Ok done. It converts the file then when you click download it opens in a new browser window and plays. Don't think it downloads to the iPad itself. Not in the iTunes section anyway. It plays in the background which is alright. I'm typing this and listening to it at the same time.

Just had my first play with an iPad at work.

Very slick piece of kit. I could see myself getting a lot of use out of one as I don't have a laptop.

The guy who owns it has got to send it back as it has a dead pixel just off the centre of the screen. It's been like that since he first powered it on. He has jailbroken it though, so he needs to restore it before it can go back.

Top quality bit of kit. Now to blow a few more quid on apps.

I still use my macbook for photo editing etc. - stuff i can't do on the iPad but I use the iPad almost solely now for browsing and e-mail etc.

I went into Apple today and played with one for about half an hour. Very slick but of kit, but I found it slightly heavier than I expected. Major let down for me is not having aperture (I know it's not built for this).

Decided to get an MPB instead! :)

I'd be looking between £400 and £500. Haven't put a lot of though to it.

If your seriously interested. Pm me mate.

Still enjoy browsing on my mac though.

I went "hands on" with one of these yesterday. Now I stand by what I said originally, it really is just a big iphone.

But I still want. Lazy browsing FTW to be honest.

the address bar whilst watching iplayer was annoying. there must be a setting to get rid of that tbh.

the screen resolution was uber nice though.

Add iPlayer as a bookmark to the homescreen and the address bar will disappear if accessed via that.

It would be ideal for lazy on the sofa browsing and in bed etc. And to have lying around constantly on pretty much saving the need for the old on and off on a desktop or laptop. Its a convenience thing pretty much. Considering it!

Exactly that. Not sure if (read when) I'm going to get one.

It's a fair bit faster than my 3GS. Looking forward to getting that chip in the iPhone.

Got mine yesterday and have hardly put it down since. I wasn't going to get one yet with the new iPhone out soon but glad I did now!

What's strange is how it makes the iPhone seem so small and compact - but in a good way. Can't wait for the new one.

I got a 3G iPad with the thinking that I might be able to use the new iPhone's micro SIM in it, rather than have a separate plan. Almost guaranteed to be something stopping you doing this though I bet...

used one for the first time today, wasn't that impressed to be honest, didn't get much time with it but it was heavier than I was expecting and it did just feel like a big iPhone, that said I will still probably end up getting one because that's just me, I'm just not going to rush out and get one.
