That article has done nothing to try and convince me i dont need an iPad 2...

I have to admit, I like it even more than I thought I would . I mainly use it for browsing, but some of the games on there are surprisingly good!

When did you get one? I've been toying with the idea of it, but cant bring myself to actually get one yet....

Nice toy, maybe, but I honestly can't see how I'd actually need one.

I'd rather buy some Hi-Fi or upgrade my main desktop.

Still, each to their own, it does look like a nice piece of kit

Got it about a week ago, just went for the WiFi version as I can tether it to my phone for a 3G connection. Really like it, some of the apps on it are extremely clever - I find myself using the PC less and the iPad more, especially if I'm browsing in the evenings.

I'd certainly agree that it's not a necessity - it took a bit of convincing myself to get one (if that makes sense ). Mainly got one for long journeys and working away, as it can be thrown in to a bag and take up no more volume than a book and yet it has a better battery life than a laptop.

Hmm, tempting, but I seriously don't need one, I don't travel that much, the greater majority of my work is within a 30 minute drive. The day comes I need what the i-Pad (sorry, I still snigger at that name) does, I'll probably get one.

Too many other desirables to spend moolah on atm though
