I checked "ASAP" but I actually won one. So it only cost me ~$28 for tax.

I love it, I dont open up my laptop except if I need to do some extensive typing. I have no problem typing on the touch keyboard, but for alot of typing I prefer a real keyboard.

And yes it is jail broken.. :P as well as my iPhone.

Yeah. I think that sums it up. For serious typing a real keyboard is a must, for anything else the virtual one is fine.

If the virtual one had numbers and more control keys on the default layout, a real keyboard would perhaps be less necessary yet.

As to "Jailbreaking", I'll probably never do it, but I can fully understand why people do.

Congrats on winning an iPad! The tax in MD can't be that bad if you paid only ~$28!

After using the device for a while, I can say: Complete tosh!

The lack of arrow keys is really starting to annoy me.

And it's impossible to edit a post here if it doesn't fit completely in the edit box (there's no way to scroll). The only option is to copy the text to Pages, or some editor, and edit it there, then copy it back. What a complete drag.

edit: To the above paragraph... complete tosh! You can use gestures to scroll Smilie Live and learn!

Get a grip, Jobs!

The 64 GB without 3G was CHF 899. That's about $850 at today's rate (not the best exchange rate these days!).

With 3G was another CHF 150, but I don't need / want it.
