ipad or not 2 ipad

I’m not a bandwagon jumper-onner when it comes to gadgets.  I think it is because I am inherently a skinflint. In the case of the iPad I have waited for someone else to buy one for me to have a go. I’m sorry boys and girls but having had a go it isn’t compelling enough for me to now go out and get one myself.

The problem is that it is actually a third device.  I currently have a laptop and a Nokia N97.  I need a laptop and I need a phone.  The iPad doesn’t replace either of them. I would use an iPad around the house.  In fact sad though it may be I take both my laptop and N97 to bed with me. The iPad would by and large replace the laptop here as a device that will let me access gmail, facebook, twitter et al.  Not sure I would pay the price though. it needs to be down at the sub £200, maybe £150 and then it would be one of those gadgets you can hang on the kitchen wall or prop it up on the dresser.

Anyway that’s it for now on the iPad.  Photos below are Richard from Timico who is clearly pleased with his and who let me have a go.
