I was given an iPad 2 from my current employer. I wouldn't have ever bought one though.
It's a nice media gadget....good for casual gaming, internet surfing, and watching Netflix. It is by no means a laptop replacement or substitute IMO. I'm really impressed with the battery life from an iPad, however if that battery goes bad there is no way to replace it, or no easy way to open it up yourself. I'm also impressed with the brightness and clarity of the screen, and the multi-touch gestures once you get the hang of it is really intuitive.
I'm not an Apple guy by any means, and although the iPad is fun to goof off with sometimes, the Appstore sucks IMO and if I ever have any problems with the iPad that would render it unworkable, I can't justify ever getting it repaired. I just don't use it that often.
I'd give it a 6/10
