One app at a time? Not a laptop killer. Not even close. I have about fifteen active processes right now. The iPad can't handle that kind of flow.
It will have it's uses, for certain. But so do full powered, more configurable computers. It creates another computing niche, but it doesn't replace anything.

THIS. Call me when I can browse CD while listening to lastfm and keeping up on Facebook statuses via the Yoono sidebar all while downloading the latest Massive Attack album.
These new devices are cool, but they're a novelty for now. I remember when I bought my first netbook, over 2 years ago. I thought it was the coolest thing, I could check my email on the go! blah blah blah. Then after a few months I got sick of the 10" screen and the under powered 1.6 GHz Atom. I realized that I was really using my regular laptop for everything anyways, so I sold the netbook, and haven't looked back since.
The Ipad is a just a large Iphone. When it can run Flash and burn CDs, then maybe it'll be worth it.
Oh and don't stand near a window with it. Even in early spring those suckers are overheating when people have them on outside... summer is going to be an interesting time for anyone who owns one, lol.
You use a laptop (or desktop) with iTunes to move "content" on and off.
I think it looks like a neat device, but a computer that requires another computer to make it work isn't much of a computer.
