Personally, I wouldn't buy something at that price knowing that in a a few months it's going to be outdated by a newer version. Not only that I'd rather see what competition crops up, still early days yet.
I don't have an iPad, but I have a Tosh Folio (one of the Android lookylikeys) on a month's trial.

I have had an iPhone, currently have a HTC Desire, and the Tablet format makes it so much easier to be a media consumer (be it documents, web wifi, or film/TV programmes - I read about 8 different documents (PDF, Word, Excel) on the way home tonight on the bus, which would not have been possible (or as easy/enjoyable) on a smartphone.

The previous night I watched part of Generation Kill whilst waiting for my wife to finish at the gym - it just makes, as I said, media consumption more enjoyable.
