Even if I had an iPad, I would always have an iPad + iPhone, since it can't make calls (and I wouldn't want to hold it to my ear). So any minor stuff I need to do, like check a calendar, I would still do on my phone. If I have business to do, I'll need a laptop since the iPad wouldn't allow me to do any work.
I spend the majority of my time reading off of monitors, so I'm either immune to the effects or they are way overhyped.

And like I said, I can't imagine anyone carrying this around with them outside their home, other than on road trips or flights, so no real need to even mention it's calling capabilities.

The only thing I consider "bad" out of all the things I've heard about it is the battery life. 10 hours in "optimal"...so average will probably be a lot less than that. Not bad for use around your house, but if you were on a long trip or something that would be annoying.
