I bought my mother an iPad for christmas (got her the 16 GB 3G version for when she's stuck at her store). My biggest concern was typing, so I also opted for the keyboard dock instead of a bluetooth keyboard or a case. So far, she really likes it. The first thing she figured out was that the dock plugs into the computer and the iPad plugs into the dock, so she didn't even know about the onscreen keyboard until I told her to unplug it (about 30 minutes after she got it). Unfortunately, I haven't been able to really observe how she uses it, as she lives a few thousand miles away, but she seems to really enjoy it, compared to her slow, heavy, unreliable, and virus-laden Windows laptop.
