mobile surfing, photostore and film watching, without having to carry a heavy laptop or squint at a tiny phone?

Why they have made all donkey mentioned so frigging easy to use ???

I need a reason not to buy, other than bad eye from my wife

I could have used a tablet this weekend whilst out of town, trying to access on-line content on the tiny screen of my iPod (although I did manage a couple of posts using Tapatalk )


Sorry A.F.F., I guess that doesn't help

Ha ha, I was the same.....and in the end I gave in....

Did I really need it? I have a MacBook, an iPod nano, iPodTouch and a HTC phone.....probably not.

Where is Denial when you actually want him?

Prices in $AU:

$539 - iPad 2
$499 - Samsung Galaxy S2
$298 - Netbooks at Officeworks

The most obvious reason I can think of for not buying an iPad is Newcastle Brown Ale.
If you bought a Samsung Galaxy S2 you could also get 6 and a bit pints at our local. If you bought the cheapest netbook (which probably would fulfil every requirement you have of an iPad), you could also get 40 pints at our local. If you didn't buy an iPad at all you could get 89 pints.

I don't know about you but there's more fun to be had with your friends and having good craic with the help of 89 pints than there is from a device with slidy things and colours.
