Actually, I don't think I want an iPad. For the price and the service contract I think I would get a cheap netbook and a 3G card for it. The iPhone is working fine for me and I can always use those famous cheater glasses when the print gets too small.

I just feel like there's something cool and inexpensive around the corner. The camera would be a big plus on the iPad, especially if they put the lens on both sides for video conferencing. Now that could sway me a bit.

Yeah PalmBreeze, I think you are right. And Ebay is a great place to find cheap computers. I bought my last dell there. You can also find cool stuff like laptops, phones, etc on Find It Cheaper.

@PalmBreezeCAFE @PalmBreezeCAFE I mean or you can just get a nice tablet pc for literally 1/2 the price of an iPad. It shouldn't be called iPad, it should be called iSlate LMFAO
