I just got one this week - the 16GB WIFI model for $500.
It is a really pleasant way to read online content. Most web sites work well on the iPad, just a few less so. Some iPad apps for newspapers are beautifully done - the NY Times or Wash Post for example manage to bring a "newsprint" feel to the electronic medium.
For me it is not a laptop replacement at all (I'm a web developer and use tools that would never be tablet friendly), but for some folks that mostly consume content and do simple email it could be a laptop replacement.
