Even better, and from personal experience, if you bought your iPad within the last couple days, you can return it to Apple once the iPad 2 is out and switch to the newer model. I did that with my iMac a few months ago when the new one came out while I had bought mine just days before.
When did you buy your iPad? Are you eligible for a refund or even an upgrade?
