The want for an ipad

[Mikester]

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? 

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.
