It depends what you need to do with it. Something that is important to you, is not important to someone and visa-versa. Having USB storage is important to you, but wouldn't be important to me. Who knows when or if Apple would allow you to use USB flash storage on the iPad. The frustrating thing is that they could allow it. The hardware is there, it's just matter of changing the software.
I've been thinking about an iPad for my girlfriend as her laptop is starting to be sketchy with it's wireless connection. I think it would be great for her. She keeps her laptop in the living room and uses it for pictures, email, facebook and internet browsing. That is 99% of her computer experience. I think an iPad would be better for her than a clunky laptop.
