Except in this particular case the person could indeed be intending to buy an Ipad, just not from the first generation. Which is clearly not the "No" option.
For example, if you asked me this question about the iPod (which I own) or the mac mini (which I own) clearly I'd be lying if I said I wasn't going to buy either of those pieces at all.
I probably will buy one of these. But I'll give it a year or two first.
