More and more recently i have been wanting for an ipad.
I just cant figure out why so i googled "cool things to do with an ipad" to which i didnt find much.
I just feel i need one.
Do i? I already have an iphone 4 and macbook pro. Im not sure how it fits in as anything other than a big iphone?
Just feel the need...

I have the same feeling about a tablets in general, I want one, but can't find one that:
A) Suits me and my needs/wants/desires (oddly enough the iPad matches most of what I'm looking for)
B) Will I really use it ? I have laptops, a desktop and a cool phone that does cool things
C) I don't really like the current Android 3.0 tablets, Android 2.X tablets do everything my phone does...
D) Do I wait for Windows 8? :undecided:
If I were you I'd wait 3-4 months for the iPad 2S/3

Im not sold to the ipad dispite owning apple products imo.
Im just not sure where it fits in.
The iphone is fast and easy access to a quick google search or facebook access.
If i want to write a letter, sit on internet, shop online, photo edit etc i turn on the macbook pro. Only takes seconds to load up.
Where does a tablet fit into your life?
Is it just the easy way out for people who dont have the ability to use a PC/Mac.
-
Just to clarify the above.
It dont matter if its an iphone or any other smart phone. Or a macbook or windows pc.
Its where does the tablet fit into life when u have a smart phone and computer/laptop.

You'll just buy one, surely.
-
We have got one recently in work. It's for demo-ing a system of ours.
I can see if you're a casual browser, who's watching TV you might just pick it up, because it's instant-on.
The Google Maps interface is significantly sh*tter than on my Android phone.
The on-screen keyboard works better than my phone.
After using it I felt a hollow feeling in my soul, as if a small part of it had just died.

I bought one the other month, they're quite nice. When you're sat on the sofa and want to check Facebook and a few other sites it's great. iPhone is too small to use for proper browsing really.
I still feel they're a bit over priced though, cost £479 for the 32GB version. Got it more to keep the other half happy really, she uses it the most.
Do I need it? No. Is it nice to have though? Yes.

This is it!
So i just need to impulse buy it one day?

If you travel a lot they are awesome! I read magazines on mine, browse the net for casual stuff (not so good for this as the keyboard is not as good as a real one)
Its the best tablet on the market at the moment, battery life is awesome and the screen is great.
They are definitely a luxury toy though. There is no need for them.
-
I get 3 or 4 days out of each charge which I think it great for a device of that size. I also read my favourite magazine on it as they have an app, plus it's £2.99 an issue, better than £4.50 for the paper version!
-
That's one reason why I want one for magazines and casual surfing
Again I don't need but want, also not sure to go 3G or not
-
I just went wifi, works for me.

Guess it may be pretty useless if it's outside of the house. As Jay said wouldn't be surprised with a revision early next year.

No one needs Coca Cola but it's still very popular.

I'm seriously considering purchasing one, purely because I spend a lot of time travelling and in airports andjust think it is so much more convenient than carrying a laptop.

The amount of money i spend on fastfood and fizzy drinks whilst working i could buy an ipad in a month or two months MAX.
-
I could in a month! Packed lunch from now to go iPad shopping :grin:
-
I'd quite like one for travelling & surfin while sat on the sofa as the phone can be straining on the eyes as so small.
-
Well got my wish came home tonight to find an IPad 2 bought for me by my lovely g/f :)

Can't think what I could add to that. Pretty much what happened to me.
