to iPad or not to iPad

I had to delay my enrollment until the next term due to unforeseen schedule conflicts. *sigh*  So to make up for the depression (well, not quite), I thought of getting myself a gadget I so covet. But I don't want to do it on impulse so I listed down the pros and cons.

 Reasons to get an iPad:
- lightweight gadget perfect for my presentations
- can be my catalog for Bits of Beads that I can always bring along
- bigger screen for movies (compared to my iPod touch)
- my iPod's battery is not working properly anymore
- can be my organizer for 2012 (and the years to come)
- games and apps galore

What holds me back:
- I just bought a netbook early this year (her name's Blushie)
- I can do more with Blushie (edit slideshows, watch movies and games)
- I've got so many books to read (more productive than spending time playing games)
-  mac upgrades every six months
- I already have my trusty iPod touch
- I can use the money for something else, say, investments or start-up capital for my business.

What are your thoughts? Should I, or not get an iPad?

get one if you travel a lot, talk to friends with facetime or have a job where you meet with clients on location, and need easy presentation. does it help?

You actually named your netbook? Better think of one for my netbook too.

ANd yes, get rid of the iPad. I think Galaxy Tablet is handy, easy to carry and not limited to applications.

i guess an Samsung Galaxy Tablet can do the same magic you do with an iPad. Of course, it's just my opinion. I can be wrong.

I was thinking about getting one too but I already have a laptop so I would rather save the money. I only buy things when I have extra money. xxoxooo
