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

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.

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'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.
