I ordered an 11" Air, but I might sell my iPad as I do think the Air makes the iPad a bit redundant. I will play with both for a few days before making a decision, though.
the two do not overlap at all - the ipad is for consuming content and the macair is for creating it...it's that simple - I don't know why we have so meany "us vs them" threads - the two peacefully coexist in my household. A pad is much nicer to read from on the couch or table than the mac air. But I need a mouse for serious work so the MBA works too.
I'll be selling my 2010 MBP 15" and moving to the 13" MBA.
Desktop (Win 7) is still my main and does 99% of the heavy lifting. My iPad 2 fills the void away from the desk. And the MBA is for when the iPad 2 can't quite cut it.

And every time the topic comes up you chime in with the same argument 'one is for creating one is for consuming', while I will stick to mine in that the MBA is not just for creating. I can easily read and look at pictures with it on my lap or night stand and it is PREFERRED for watching movies over the iPad.
So, I would say, while yes, they can in fact co-exist, they are still a bit redundant of each other depending on the user. And this user says, the iPad is pointless.
It is, you won't get an argument from me.
But it's nice for a technology guy who likes to enjoy the latest stuff.Perhaps i am too curious on any guys out there owning one MBP 13" , MBA 11" and iPad2. All the urge are coming from this sexy beast MBA 11" and usually in the home i will just use iPad for surfing on the bed or on the couch, for on the run iPad actually does the work for me ( surfing , checking and replying emails , some games and some basic office work ) also a plus point for ipad is i do not need to bring my charger along because it definitely have enough juice for me to last till end of the day ( i works on ipad around 7 hours daily ) . I dont think MBA could last me that long so to bring a charger along is a must.
