I just saw that Apple has announced the iPad will be in stores on April 3rd. So the big question everyone should be asking themselves is should you be buying one?
When I first heard about the iPad I was pretty excited to see what Apple was up to. Then when they gave the first demo i thought, “Do I really need a big iPhone?”. After all, I own a Macbook Pro, a Dell Vostro, and custom built desktop, and both an original iPhone and a new iPhone 3GS. I feel like I have plenty of access to the internet. So while my inner geek screams “Buy It!, Buy It!” I have to realize that its not something I really need.
I think I will eventually buy one but I’m not going to be first in line like I was for the iPhone. I paid top dollar for my 8G iPhone on day one and don’t regret it because it was a revolutionary device. It made my Palm Treo feel like a something out of the 1980s. The iPad is not that kind of upgrade over my current devices. So I will resist my inner geek. Unless someone out there wants to buy me one??
