Why not get a Mac Mini or a second hand macbook? They're basically the same price and can do a lot more and have better performance.I'm going to get one anyway soon as my computer atm is extremely slow (and because I don't have a iPhone or iPod) - although I agree it is exactly the same as the iPhone, just bigger.
yeh but even then u can get good spec computers for what ur paying for a ipadIf your rich (like Steve) then the iPad wouldn't be that bad of an idea.I've seen people using them, and it seems like a larger iPod, yes, but its got some differences. It's not exactly what I'd call portable, cause if you walk round my neighbourhood with one the chances of you going home with that iPad are pretty slim.
Seems like more of something to keep at home for entertainment to me.
