So this is a decision I had to make and I thought it would be fun to see what other people would decide:

If you had to choose between buying your iPad 2 as soon as it comes out or waiting 3 months and getting it as a birthday present what would you choose?

(I'm not asking for you to help me decide, I already did, I'm just curious to see what other people would do)
 
I hate waiting :D

However a free ipad is tempting :p

If I already had an ipad I would wait, if I didn't I'd buy, I couldn't imagine life without my ipad now.
 
Considering my ipad 2 will be a christmas gift when I get it, and I will have waited about 3 months, I can say I would wait lol
 
I'd wait. I have my iPhone and Kindle to get me by and there's nothing I desperately need my iPad for. That's not to say it wouldn't be an extremely LONG 3 months though...
 
Patience is a virtue.

I'd wait and bide my time with something else. But then my birthday is 7 months away and I never get any expensive presents anymore.
 
Personally I would get the iPad now and ask for money for my birthday to reimburse for the cost of the iPad. Best of both worlds.
 
Wait, though I find myself succumbing to instant gratification myself. :D
 
If you have iPad 1, wait for the present. If you've sold iPad 1/don't have try managing without it. Its worth waiting for a free one:D
