We bought an iPad 2 last year. It does not replace anything. It is something different. I like it to browse the internet without having to sit at my office desk. It is nice to read BIG BLUE on the couch or on lazy Sunday mornings in the bed. My wife had it with here when her father passed away last year. It was a small but useful vehicle to do email and get information from local authorities, insurance and pension fonds how to handle that situation.
However, it is 99% a fun toy. It is not a machine you need to own at all.
I got this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZbZ5Qj9zrM as a late xmas gift from my brother last weekend. That is a machine that requires an iPad or iPhone
