Using the iPad 3 now and yes, it is too good for the web. It is also too good for many PDFs, images, and other content not using vector based rendering. But I noticed something else, text heavy content sites with more content and less image fluff (reddit, hacker news, etc.) look much better, and quite frankly I wouldn't mind if the iPad pushes the web back towards a minimalist, text heavy interface it was once, just as it did away with Flash. With the huge advances we've made with CSS and better understanding of page layouts, a text heavy web wouldn't be a bad thing, and I could do without all unnecessary images distracting the meat of the content. I'm now clicking the Readability/Safari Reader icon on nearly every page now as the signal to noise ratio is really starting to get absurd (even getting strange desires to make a plugin that makes reader the default view). Bandwidth use from implementing high res images should not suffer much since you would be trading quantity for quality, and only placing images that are absolutely necessary to support the content (i.e. product images).
