Can You Own an iPad Without a Computer

I have been looking for a replacement computing device for my mother to use.  Her constant requirement to me is "something to read emails on my hotmail account".

Originally I was thinking of a Netbook like a Dell Mini so I took her to BestBuy for her to get an idea of size and form factor. Now, after seeing countless videos about the iPad, I am wondering if that would be a better fit for her.  Though the million dollar question is . . . .

Do you need a Computer to own an iPad?
