I have been trying to figure out if I need an iPad. I mean, it looks nice (from afar). I haven't seen the actual model yet but I'm sure I will once April rolls around.
What I haven't wrapped my head around yet is the price. Do I really need another $500 gadget? I mean, sure, it may be a fine alternative to the other expensive gadgets I also haven't bought yet that are competing for my wallet share, namely: the Kindle and the Nook. Butl, as I have mentioned before, I am reasonably happy reading books on my multi-purpose iPhone.
So really, Apple - is this techno push, or what? Let's design a cool product and then bet the farm that developers and consumers will flock to it because it is cool? I do wish I could be sold on this concept, but I prefer (for now) to protect my hard-earned dollars.
