Dh has offered to get me one for Christmas but because of the cost, I am having trouble justifying it. (I still feel guilty about the layoff and just don't feel much like I deserve much if that makes sense).
I am surre I would love it as I love my iPhone and it would be so much nicer to be able to handle work emails and stuff on the days I work from home rather than using the regular computer. And it would be much easier to lug around for work rather than the giant laptop I inherited from dh when my old computer died. And I think I would just generally have fun with it and I would be so much easier to see ten the little iPhone screen. But I still can't seem to say yes.
So, if you have thoughts, talk me into or out of it please.
Re: iPad - talk me into or out of
I don't use mine as much now that I have an iPhone but I do read books on it. V uses it the most. I prefer playing Angry Birds on it
I would definitely get one with 3G because otherwise it's the same as a laptop and you need to have WiFi to use it.
V also watches a lot of movies/shows on it. It's good for that on a road trip.

I can't seem to get on the iPad train myself. DH has a droid, and I've played with several iPads and iPhones, but the touch screen and fingerprints drive me nuts. I have to clean DH's phone every time I want to use it.
I did, however, get a netbook on black Friday and I have been very happy with it.

I know. I've done a lot of looking into this and I'm just not sure it's completely worth waiting. Some commentators think it might be late spring or later and that it could possibly be even pricier. It seems like the biggest change is with a faster processor and better display, which while nice, I'm not sure are absolutely necessary.
My birthday isnt until July, so that would likely be the next time I could get it as I don't think I could justify the purchase without an ocassion.
Hubby and I share one and it works out perfect that way.
As others said, it is great for traveling. I always hated lugging my laptop around and I can just throw the ipad in my purse.
We both agreed we would never each own one. We have never needed it at the same time. But it is nice having one around!
