I am considering an iPad 1 over a new laptop to save money and weight as I will be commuting much further next semester and staying away from home for up to 2 days at a time rather than living on campus. I currently have an older white macbook I am trying to save by not carrying it around too much and an iPhone 4 that I bought broken to use as a glorified ipod touch. Anyways, is there anything the iPad can do app-wise (or does much better) than an iPhone 4 when it comes to a work machine/study buddy? Would a used iPad 1 be worth the ~$330 they are going for on ebay?
I've read several blogs from people using an iPad as their main work computer, so I know it is capable. Its just hard to compare how much more capable it is than the iPhone when I don't have a way to try them side by side.
Any input is greatly appreciated.
