If you had unlimited funds, would you buy an iPad?
Why or why not? My own answer is "Not yet".
Imho, you never buy from the first production
run of anything! Plus, I would want to talk with
someone who did own one for at least three months
before I'd ever consider purchasing one of my own.

No, because I don't see the need for one, given what I use and how I use it. Also, as you say, it is a first gen. product and there is much improvement coming.

Re: If you had unlimited funds, would you buy an iPad?
I really don't see the point. It's nothing more than a repackaged laptop with a flashy screen that Apple is marketing as some kind of super-toy.
The appeal of the ipad is to be the first person you know to have a cool toy, which I couldn't care less about. By the time improvements come along, it will be yesterday's news and no one will be interested any more.

Re: If you had unlimited funds, would you buy an iPad?
No because I agree with both WD and Nucky and my thought processes follow those lines.
Maybe later on when the bugs are worked out because I love gadgets. Just another toy to me. But, that's what I do, I'm an electronics technician/uber-geek )

Me personally no. But I imagine my 2 adult sons are already itching for one.
