I'm thinking of getting the new iPad with wifi. Except apple usually replaces their products a year or so later. Plus what I'd like to know if it's even worth getting. Low space on it and idk if It would be magicworkstation friendly. Maybe it's overhyped and I just want it cause I can afford it. I don't know... Whatcha guys think?
I think it really depends on just what you want to use it for.
MWS wouldn't be trivial to get working on it; you'd need to use an application which connects to your normal computer and displays the screen of that computer on your iPad, then play through that.
If you're looking into it, look to see if there's anything you'd do on there that couldn't be duplicated with a netbook/laptop and maybe an iPod Touch.
Anything proceeded with a lower-case "i" should probably be avoided.
Seriously though, they'll release a new one once they have enough feedback from the general public, and it'll be just as expensive, so I'd probably save the money or buy something else.
My roommate works at an apple store and has most certainly "drank the kool-aid" of their products. However; he thinks the ipad is an overpriced piece of garbage, at least for now.
9-12 months down the road, apple will release a newer, cheaper, better one.
18-24 months from now, there will be an 'android' one of these quirky computer-laptop-tablet-hybrid-thing-a-magiggers
My suggestion? Wait it out. I imagine MWS will be a ***** to get working right, and its an emerging technology that will only improve.

I wouldn't buy an iPad for now. We still have no idea what its good for. Early adopters are literally putting blind faith in Apple that they will have some "master plan" for the iPad when Apple itself is telling us it doesn't.
Wait for the second or third gen. Honestly that's when things like a camera, more data storage, etc will be implimented. I'm personally waiting for the second or third gens because of that very reason, just look at how the iTouch line went. 2cd gen had speakers and some other hardware 'built' from software, and the third gen stomped the second gen. Just wait on it.

Yup, I'm online at all hours, I'm an insomniac, what of it?
bleh.. screw it im getting it. if i dont like it i can take it back. was pretty fun at best buy.
Enjoy!
It's a pretty awesome device. I got it day one and I've enjoyed it since. Typing on it right now. Works for me as a replacement for my older laptop, way easier to carry around and does most of what I need. And most of what it doesn't do, I just reserve for doing at home on my desktop
It's definitely a cool device that I would gladly pay $50 for. With it's current price I really can not justify spending so much for something I have so little use for.
It still would be really cool to surf the web while I am on the toilet.

Save some money and buy a netbook.
Either buy a laptop or even an ipod touch if you really want something to listen to music on.
LOL
-Content is still controlled by Apple
-Not as portable as it might seem
-Glorified ipod touch
-Way overpriced for what it does
The one good thing I've heard about it, is that it makes for a decent e-reader, if you're looking for that feature.

I would never, never, NEVER buy an iPad. If I won one, I'd take it(to sell it), but I'll never buy one.
sup.
That should be its slogan: "iPad doesn't."
