Decision Tree: Should I Buy an iPad? (PIC)
Oscar says:
Wow, the Luddites are out in droves and it’s not a technological objection but anti Apple.
The future was handed to you in the iPad and you are blind to it.
I predict in 3 years you will all have an iPad like device and be using it more than your laptop or desktop. you will buy a second one because the 4 people in your family are always fighting over the 1 you have.
Is 499 expensive? Yes. In a year and a half it will be priced at 299 and you will consider it an impulse item.
You don’t need a full featured tablet. I had 1, a Fujitsu that ran XP. it was the most useless device in Tablet mode. I mostly used it in its dock with a keyboard and mouse. As a computer
Apples iPad is a tool to do what most of you do daily on your laptop or desktop. Check mail, read info, surf the web and play games.
The difference with the iPad is you will be doing it on the the couch, reclining. you will be able to get up, and go to the kitchen and get a soda and not have missed a frame of the video you were watching. you will go out to the deck and grab a seat and still not have missed a frame. after you have finished the soda, you will get up and head to the bathroom and still not have missed a frame.
I a sure you get my point. it is a content consumption device. Priced high now to limit demand. An impulse item down the road.
