I really want an ipad and yet, i find myself in this internal battle between wanting it and justifying the purchase vs. not really needing it. Frankly, I don't know anyone that uses one and ive only played with it for about 10-15 min at the Apple store and I really didn't get sold on it...mainly cause i feel like i couldn't get a proper feel for it.
Anyway with the new refurb prices, I am wondering what everyone uses their ipads for. I think that its may be one of those things that you don't think you need until you get one. Then you can't go anywhere withtout it. Kind of like a smart phone. I really did not NEED one but now I can't live without it because I know all of what it can do and it's embedded into every facet of my life.
So, just want to hear how some people use their ipads on a daily basis. I saw one post of a photographer that uses it to show clients photos which I thought was neat. The commercials i see about using garage band or whatever really doesn't appeal to me at all. I find myself asking myself "when am I EVER going to use that. why not use my MBP?" but i don't own an Iphone (Android mytouch 4g here) so the app market is a little different.
Is there netflix on the ipad? Can you switch tasks like have open a chat agent on gchat, then switch over to your browser, switch back and forth without restarting applications? Is iOS 4.3 coming to ipad1 or is it only for ipad 2? It says something about better multitasking.
