I love how the OP and others are so deluded that they actually believe that dropping 900 dollars on two iPads in two years is somehow an investment. It's exactly opposite of investment. As if ownership of a new ipad somehow generates meaningful returns.
Even worse are those who speak of iPads as 'tools' as opposed to the toys they are.
Worst of all are those who speak of their 'needs' in relation to their impending ipad purchases.
Get over yourselves. These are not investments, tools, or anything that anyone needs.
This year I was able to pull out my iPad3 LTE when I was sitting in an assistant district attorney's office to discuss a burglary charge. I was able to pull up the affidavit of probable cause and a statement submitted by the accused and then pull up a great image of the crime scene on Google Earth. The details on GE discredited the affidavit and supported the accused's version of events. The ADA dismissed the charge.
In another county, the authorities accidentally filed the same charge on my client twice. Since she had only posted bond on one of them, I was able to pull up copies of the charges of both and demonstrate the state's error to the judge to stop her from being taken into custody before she was even led out of the courtroom.
I cannot count the number of times I've run into opposing counsel by happenstance in the courthouse, and used box or dropbox to pull up copies of pleadings, communications or evidence while discussing a case, while the other guy or gal had to use fallible human memory. It often gave me an advantage in the discussions and negotiations. Good thing it's never more than two minutes away from me.
So, what can you do with your "toys"?
