With the release of the ipad 2 announced, original ipad prices have dropped substantially. I recently bought an iPhone 4 and really love it, I use it frequently. That said I mostly use it for web browsing, netflix, I play kingdom conquest and secret of mana, and of course to manage my email.

My potential uses for this would be for netflix, web browsing, and perhaps some of the games I'm already playing on my iphone. I would like to begin using this ipad for investigation work, so the camera may be useful, but taking field notes would be a huge plus (I'm honestly not sure how viable would be).

I may have already answered my own question that the gen1 iPad would suit me, but I would like to ask the opinion of the experts in here..
 
If the camera is something you want/need, then iPad 2 is the only option

Otherwise, the iPad 1 should suit your needs quite well
