Yes, but not for ME. I can see my father using it to show holiday pictures or my girlfriend for surfing the web in the sofa. We're not the target market on the customer side.
However, we ARE the target market on the developer side. The success of this device hinges on the quality of the apps WE are going to build for it. My bet is that there will be a lot of innovative apps for this device.
The SDK is dead easy for the devs who already put out 100K iPhone apps, multi-gesture will allow some interesting gameplay, CoreText may allow you to build gorgeous text-based apps. The device packs some real CPU power.
Sure, the limits (DRM, AppStore, API-limts, Single-App) kinda suck. But with the $$$ luring an established developer-base I expect lots of apps to be available soon. And it's the quality of these entertainment/fun apps that is going to drive the success of this device.
So maybe we should rephrase the poll: Who is going to develop for the iPad? (How do I create a poll?)
