Nope not yet. I'm one of those fixed income retired bums.
I'm waiting for somebody to figure out how worthless it is and toss it.

I saw a lot of the video but heres some information from an article that caught my attention.

I’m especially intrigued by GarageBand. This iPad-only app (apparently both for iPad 1 and iPad 2) is not just a touch-screen-based port of the Mac version of GarageBand. It offers new touch instrument and smart instrument features. These promise to make playing music on an iPad incredibly easy, even for those with little or no musical background. Of course, you can also use GarageBand as a multi-track recording studio. Do a quick search of YouTube and you’ll find a wealth of videos showcasing the iPad as an impressive musical instrument. With GarageBand, it just gets better.

There are dozens of third-party music-playing and music-recording apps currently in the App Store. GarageBand will probably mean the end of many of these apps. Overall, this may prove to be a good thing. I prefer one app that does most or all of what I need for a specific task — rather than having to acquire a dozen apps and shifting among them.

As for connecting external instruments to GarageBand, Apple’s video on the iPad 2 shows an adapter for connecting a guitar. It’s not from Apple. It’s apparently the new Apogee JAM adapter, available March 31. JAM only works to connect electric guitars. While it’s made specifically for GarageBand, Apogee says it will work with “other iOS compatible music and guitar applications” including ones that run on an iPhone or iPod touch.

Can we expect other adapters for connecting other instruments, such as digital pianos, to the iPad? I would guess yes, but have seen no announcements as yet.

My choice so far has me leaning for the WiFi model, no 3G

Looking at the chart posted above it looks like the Motorola is on similar grounds as the iPad2, and both are above the other three... But the motorola is actually more expensive than the apple.

Anyone want to start a pool on when google jumps up and makes the android system full scale and makes their own PC?

you're not comparing apples to apples. there's no wifi only xoom yet. there will be. also, xoom has 32G. The 32G iPad is $599. so price was it'll be pretty close. xoom blows the ipad 2 on specs. of course that doesn't mean anything. i'll wait for the pricing on the wifi xoom and make my decision. i do like the facetime which i can use with my macbook air.
