I've got the OG iPad and the Retina iPad. Definitely go with the Retina at this point so you continue to get software updates. The first gen just doesn't have the RAM needed for iOS6 apps with some heft.
Still works like a dream for streaming video of all kinds and text editing...just not so hot with app switching or games.
With iOS7 coming in the fall, going the cheap route on a non-retina iPad may be something you regret.
It's amazing and you'll be happy with it.
