If I may offer a quick suggestion; unless you have a computer (either desktop or laptop), don't get an iPad for your daily dose of the web.
The iPad, like the iPod Touch, requires another machine to work properly.
For example without a computer, you won't be able to add music, videos, or other content to your device.
If you DO HAVE another computer, don't get the iPad if you plan to perform mass note-taking. If you do, consider buying a keyboard dock or an Apple Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard. The iPad's onscreen keyboard is good for quick note-taking, not for extensive writing (such as this forum post).
Contrary to popular belief, the iPad is not a computer or netbook replacement. It is merely a tool.
Don't get me wrong though, I love my iPad. If all you need is a device to surf the internet, take quick notes, watch online videos, etc - you may love it too.
It's all about what you're ultimately going to do with the machine.
