JavaJones:
And now a great answer to anyone who thought the inclusion of an iPad-optimized iWorks app meant they could actually do real work on it comfortably:

Holy crap Apple, seriously? *That's* how your shiny new toy handles data sync? Wow. Just... wow.

Here's a useful review of the iPad that concentrates on using it for reading (as opposed to playing games or other fanboi activities): http://www.the-ebook-reader.com/apple-ipad.html . If you are interested in ebooks and ebook readers in general, this is a good site to explore.
For another, cautionary, discussion of the pros and cons of actually using an iPad, this one is also worth reading: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/04/06/normal_human_being_uses_the_ipad/

IMNHO, the Sony eBook Readers and the Kindles et al. are already overpriced. Buying the iPad as a book reader would be ridiculous. Of course, I don't think that is what you were suggesting, and the review certainly isn't either, but I've heard/seen it suggested enough to feel compelled to comment.

Seriously, why the shock? ...This is a perfect Apple "File Sharing" efficiency match for the MacBook Wheel...
;)
Eóin:
Now this does shock me;
It gets worse. There is no way to share the same document with more than one iPad app. For example, a Word document imported to Pages cannot be accessed by any other iPad app, even other apps that can open Word documents.

Even from a lock down OS perspective I can't see the reasoning behind it?
