Which would you rather pick?

 

A: iPad - $829

B: Quad Core Computer with 8GB RAM - $699

C: 500 Snickers Bars - $500

 

 

You picked the most expensive iPad, but I would go for the 500 Snicker Bars.

I'll get one when the price drops,and the only reason I want one is because it's futuristicy.

 

 

Will the prices ever drop?

Ok, this is one of the things that confuses me about the iPad.

 

During the Steve Job's keynote, he said that apple wanted to make a device that is BETTER at doing the following things:

Yeah, a device that doesn't even have flash built in is supposedly better at browsing the web? A laptop is far better at doing email, the iPhone is perfect for photos, watching movies on a MacBook is better because of its larger screen, and a MacBook has a dedicated GPU for gaming.

 

Reading eBooks is the ONLY thing that the iPad should be good for, and spending $500 just for books is a big rip off.
