UK iPad prices revealed
vRS Carl:
For me the point is as follows
Rather than carry around my laptop, external drive, mouse, remote contol and associated cables I am getting an iPad to be the bit of IT that I take away.
There are no Mobile signals in Helmand Province so don't need 3G. Also I can load a lot of films and all my music negating he need to take my iPhone away.
I also read a lot of books as you can expect spending 6 months in a dusty sh!t hole. So rather than carry 15-20 books with me I can have these loaded onto my iPad thus saving weight which means I can carry more bullets and as far as I'm concerned that's a good thing.
Granted if I spent my life in the comfort of the UK or other westernised country where all the modern creature comforts we are all used to exist then yes there would be no point having one to add to the 2 MacBook Pro's I already have.
But as I spend a lot of time away and my creature comforts are what I can carry then for me personally it has a lot of use

Apple are one of the worst for ripping off the their UK customers - I do own an Ipod Touch (present) and may be interested in the new iPhone 4 if the specs are an improvement.
I never quite understand why the UK Apple customers are so loyal to Mr. Jobb's and Co. when all they do is take advantage of them too much take take take with Apple and geared towards their advertising partners than their customers.. :mad:
LOL
/Rant over :grin:

This is not a discussion on the relative merits of both devices.

nope ? then why do you buy an iPad ? Isn't it the same as an Iphone/Ipod ? just a bit oversized ?

I do like apple products (owning an iMac and iPhone) but I cannot see the point in the iPad for myself. (Although I have not looked deeply into what it can do.)
I can see why it would be useful for Mater's case, but for my needs not so much. I would probably go for a MBP for the extra £.
