I was lucky enough to get a touchpad 32gb.
The better half has an iPad. Got it her for Christmas, but I must admit, I use it myself a lot more than I thought I would.
I've only had my touchpad a short while but it has enabled me to reclaim my TV as my 2 year old would much rather Watch Dora on it than the main TV

I got a gen 1 iPad last August - my other half uses it much more than I do. I've gone off tablets until they can cope with fingerprints/grease a bit better, oh and my big, stubby fingers!
If I were in the market for a tablet now, I think I'd be most tempted by an EEE Transformer.
Can't wrap my head around why anyone would want a computer without a keyboard tbh. Touchscreen phones and things like Kindle I get, quite like a kindle, but I can get carrier bags full of books for almost nothing from the local charity shop so it's not worth the money to me. Laptops I get too. Tablets seem like the worst of both worlds to me.
Closet trekkies, gotta be.
Voted "other", because I intend to, when products and prices are right, but I won't pay Apple prices.
I have a Kindle as well and would say its reduced the weight of my travel luggage considerably. I never go away with anything less than 6 books and will usually buy a couple more at the airport WHsmiths. Having the kindle means I can take it directly onto the plane in my hand , thus avoiding the overhead locker wrestling required and giving me all the books I would ever need for a holiday in the pal of my hand

Yeah have to say if I travelled regularly I'd of bought one by now.
I'd love to have a tablet device but I'm not sure what I want yet
Likewise, and I am amazed at just how useful it is. I have always regarded a tablet as a content viewing device, and while it is that, I have found the touch keyboard very easy to use. The limitation with the touchpad is that it is wifi only, but for use round the house it is excellent.
Pretty much says it all! I bought mine at Gatwick, and within 15 minutes (5 of which were unboxing it) I had downloaded a couple of books and was reading one wh waiting for my flight. Lightere than the touchpad (no kindle app for it anyway - yet) so I wouldn't want to be without either. The touchpad was a no-brainer though at the price!

It is possible to get the kindle app on the touchpad , but hopefully the non beta version will be out soon!

Windows 7 tablet, considering a cheap android one as well.
Got a iPad2 but it sits in the cupboard most the time
Someone left a note on a piece of cake in the fridge that said, "Do not eat!". I ate the cake and left a note saying, "Yuck, who the hell eats paper ?
Asus Eee Pad Transformer here - love it to bits - the keyboard add-on is genius and the software updates from Asus have been simply fantastic and well timed.
