iPad makes a great notetaker, but a poor wordprocessor. I've used it to take notes in many environments, and it works surprisingly well. It would have served me perfectly when I was at university, especially as there are several apps designed for univeristy life and lecture notes. For me, the device is spot-on for my needs barring the lack of multi-tasking, and that will, to an extent, be resolved soon.
I expected to hate it -- I bought one for my wife for her birthday, not for myself, and not because I wanted it -- and my hate has been proven as completely misplaced. It's a great wee machine, and all the better if you have an iPhone/Pod as you can use many of the apps on all devices.
