OT - New iPad

[oldguy00]

Anyone getting one?
I've been a hold out on the iPad, yet to own one. But man, it looks so tempting to get a 3G model with the cheap tablet data plans now available, tablet TV, etc. It looks like such a nice thing to have to use on the road, etc.
Now to convince the wife...

no ipad 5 yet! the newest one is simply called the ipad and doesn't have a numerical designation...and the new version is 4G which is pretty sweet

i am personally waiting for a smaller form factor...

You will be waiting a long time, if you are waiting for Apple to make a smaller unit.

I have an original iPad with 3G and its probably the best electronic gadget I've purchased, maybe, ever. I travel for work a lot so its nice to have a bunch of books, there are some cool work related apps, and you can browse the web while sitting in airports without breaking out the laptop. I will caution you that I personally don't think its a replacement for the laptop but it is pretty handy.

I rarely ever use the laptop anymore other than to sync my Garmin,

Do it. Best thing in the world. We now have two. Never take out my laptop. Perfect for traveling.

I have the iPad2, 16 GB Wifi only. Unless you plan to download a lot of movies from iTunes it is more than enough.

I wanted to get the new one because of the new screen but my wife wanted a new laptop instead and we gave more money to Apple.

If you have Netflix it will be very useful.

We're getting the new one...32gb and with 4g. I'm waiting for the lines to die a bit, but I'm really looking forward to it!
