I'll buy an iPad right now.

If you can't figure out how you will use it then I'd say don't buy one. It's not a contest. No one cares if you buy one or not. I'm not being snarky, but it's like if I posted I'll buy a circular saw today if someone will tell me what I could do with it. Either you know why you need one, or you don't need one.

Honestly, I'd say go to the store and play with it for 5-10 min. If it peaks your imagination, great. Otherwise you have $500-900 in your pocket for something else.

Why do you need someone else to tell you what buy? Bizarre.

It doesn't matter- why buy something you can think of how to use and let it sit around and collect dust?

When i saw it it was immediate how it could fit into our daily lives by replacing the Touches. No brainer.

We could use 2 more to stop the fighting over them though! How about you buy me a 3rd one? 😀

What's the difference if you want to throw money away?

You buy it and don't have a use for it so it sits unused = waste of money

you buy it for me, it is used daily for hours by a kid with special needs = waste of money for you, but at least the product is loved


It was a JOKE..... but really, trying to justify why you should buy something is about the same to me as throwing money at strangers.
 
I ordered a 32GB 3G iPad from the online Apple store last night, based on the positive, and negative, reviews I read here, and watching youtube video reviews. I decided to purchase the 3G because I planned on using it a lot away from my home wifi and I didn't want to jailbreak my iPhone to use as a hotspot. I hate synching everyday, so I didn't want the hassle of having to micro manage my media content, so I went with 32GB. I knew exactly what I needed, in an iPad, because virtually all of the questions I would have posted in a thread have been asked, and answered, several times over.

The search button is your friend, mi amigo(a)😀. After reading all that you can find on the iPad, hop over to BB, or an Apple store, and play with a unit. Only you can determine whether you want, or need, one.

Money is always the issue. I'm hardly a pauper but damn if I don't take my BMW to the gas station that is a nickel cheaper. If you don't pay attention where and how you are spending your money you'll end up with none. Why would anyone spend money on a gadget they don't need? Would you go to a restaurant and buy yourself 10 entrees if you were not hungry? I mean it's not about the money, so why not?
 
If you need someone to tell you why you need it, then you don't need it. I knew that it was the right thing for me, because I have spent a lot of time wishing that my iPhone was bigger. This is perfect for those times. But if you don't see a use for it, it isn't for you.
 
This is a sick joke, right? Can't you read the 100000 threads that answer this already? WTF is wrong with people?
 
Frankly, I don't understand the purpose of your thread. Do you want advice, gather some opinions?

I've got the same combination (iPhone, MBP) and the iPad is in use for like 12 hours a day 😀
 
No. Please don't buy one. The thought of you owning one makes me cough up blood.
Is that the attention/answer that you wanted and needed? 😉

I thought you were going to go with, "it will take one out of the hands of someone more deserving". 😀

But coughing up blood is worse, can't have that! 😛

Buy one and then box it up and send it to me.
Now get to it. Boom.

Lol I was going to say your line -but haven't we already used that one on the previous 99, attention-seeking losers? 🙂
