i have another question, 
does the screen scratch easily? it seem like it would.
No, i haven't even seen a single scratch on my iPad yet, and i have only very little scratches on the screen of my iPod touch, but i also got the case for it too so i don't end up scratching it.
There is this thing called invisible sheild that you can get for the iPad, you'd be rather amazed how it really works no matter how much times to scratch it.
I'm getting an iPad soon!
Awesome, i think it seems to be worth it, it works well for me as I'm not always available to reach my laptop, not for the last couple of days anyways.
But personally, i should have gotten a mini laptop at least but i seem to love the portable side of the iPad and battery is amazingly long, I haven't charged it all day today and i still have an amazing battery power.
One thing you can't do is download tunes from the Internet though, you would have to do it through iTunes and plus you would need a computer to activate your iPad.
