Q. It looks like the ipad is going to take the place of our bulky table and laptop PCs? yes? I would like to know what pro;s and con's you think there is in replacing these for the ipad?
A. I normally avoid personal comments but I am compelled to comment here on Computer Tech.
I think he doesn't keep up with new technologies.
iPad has a set of two dongles that lets you connect digital camera,USB hub,keyboard and memory card.
No Flash: Why do you require flash in the first place? You want annoying pop ups? Or you want stupid ad banners while watching movie.
iPad streams video from almost all websites without a problem. Flash is not required anymore to play video online.
Full size keyboard: I type 60 words per minute on my iPad many cant do that even on physical keyboard. Apple case makes typing on iPad a charm.
But if you want physical keyboard. You can either get a blutooth keyboard or a wired one both works flawlessly with iPad.
Multi Tasking:You can split in two or three parts and do two or three things simultaneously with radio playing at the background.
iOS4 is on it's way to make things even easier.it will available for FREE for every iPad owner.
Coming back to the asker question :: answer depends on what you use computer for. If you wanna print hundreds of documents every day then iPad is not the right choice.
iPad is not meant to replace a computer.However there are apps that make an iPad a smarter option.
iPad can do almost everything a regular user would do on a computer but there are occasion when iPad fails and you will need a computer.
For example : when iOS4 releases , you will need to download it on computer first then sync iPad and update it.
Other than that iPad does pretty much everything. You can download media and document from websites using app GoodReader.You can play thousands of games.
iPad version of iWork ( iWork is MS Office for MAC) works really good and you can create any document easily and quickly.
Photo and video editing on iPad is amazing. If you don't have thousand dollar software like Photoshop,Final Cut Studio on computer than iPad beats PC in every single way.
Battery: no laptop can even come close to iPad. iPad's battery last over 15 hours easily.
Watch movies : Netflix works on iPad vey smoothly. Besides, you canalso watch movies online for free. There is a site totally dedicated to iPad and iPhone.
TV Shows : watch full episodes of tv shows on abc and CBS.You can also watch some live events like today I am watching performance of Taylor Swift live on my iPad.
Last week I watched MTV movie awards live on iPad using FREE app MTV.

Fact: you can watch movies and tv shows online at high quality without a problem.Watching movies using Netflix on iPad is a great experience.Watching ABC,CBS shows for free is mind-blowing.
Myth 2:No USB port:

You can even split the screen in two parts and browse two different sites at the same time.
You can play web radio on Safari and then open a different browser Desktop and browse other sites on it on half screen and on the other half open calculator or unit converter. With radio playing on the background, using calculator on the side , you can browse the Internet without a problem.
No camera: true but actually iPad has ability to stream iPhone 3G S camera over Wi-Fi and Blutooth. And with 4.0 update coming in this fall , you will be able to use iPhone camera while chatting on iPad.
Biggest myth: iPad is just a giant iPod touch.
