Ipad Deux

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Who's buying? I might pick one up...maybe might wait for a while to see them. we'll see.

I might just buy one when I go to Oregon next to save on sales tax.

 

[VanillaGorilla]

They come out with new stuff too fast.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

But this one has a FRONT FACING CAMERA!!!!!

But you'd pay the use tax on it when you returned to CA, right? I'm sure you wouldn't want to deprive the state of any tax money you owe.

[Mamba]

Why don't you just buy from Amazon? Free shipping + no tax?

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

I enjoy the experience of buying at the Apple store.

I'm also not really in a rush. I'd use it primarily for travel and I haven't really traveled much lately.

 

[Colonel Ronan]

So glad I'm not into Apple products and I think my wallet agrees.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

I want one.

We've installed Californian detectors in all our stores and make you fuckers pay tax now.

Agreed.

I got an iPad as part of our Christmas bonus and I took it back to get the cash. I haven't missed the iPad one bit in the last couple of months.

I'm sure my wife will get one. I talked her out of v1.0 because of Apple's history of slow-releasing their technology.

 

[Colonel Ronan]

Agreed.

I recently won an iPad 16 GB on QuiBids.com for $44.60 and sold it for $450. I'd would definitely choose 500 bucks over an iPad that will be out-of-date in 6 months.

over christmas bought a bunch of stuff via a non-profit for further discounts.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

its good for surfing the net on the couch.

 

[Ed O]

its good for surfing the net on the couch.

I can see that for most people... I sit at my computer (behind my couch) watching TV most of the time that I'm home alone.

My iPad would have just collected dust.

Ed O.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

yeah. my desk is not situated near a TV. I use my laptop but an ipad would be better.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

I'd use it primarily for a magazine (zinio) and ebook reader. also for travelling instead of bringing my laptop. my phone is pretty adequate though. but sometimes i like the bigger screen.

 

[Natebishop3]

Waste. Of. Money.

Seriously, you can get a pretty decent laptop for that cost which can do things like... oh.... you know.... play blue rays or actually type things up.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

already have a laptop. this is easier for pulling out at an airport and surfing the web, shit like that. can do on phone but battery drain and smaller screen.

can also use it when you're in a city like in a messenger bag or small backpack. sit on a park bench and pull up a map or yelp review.

 

[KingSpeed]

I love my iPad. I hardly use my lap top. I've used my laptop once this year, I think. I hate waiting for my laptop to start up. With my iPad, I hit a button and it starts. And I can easily carry it everywhere. Also- I can read about a book and then download it in a minute. While reading it, I can easily go to YouTube and wikipedia to see/learn more about what I'm reading. I play games on it. Check my email. Do my banking. Etc. And it so easy to use and carry around. I'm a big fan. Probably won't get the new one right away. I'm perfectly happy with the one I have. It's definitely made a difference in my daily life.

Also, my 4 & 5 year old nieces loved playing all the children's games on it and watching movies on it, that I bought them one. They love it.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

I use evernote so the camera will be really useful.

 

[barfo]

Better buy it now. With all that hyperinflation, it will probably cost $354 million by the end of the year.

Everything I own is Apple...... and my wallet hates me for it!

 

[44Thrilla]

I got the Xoom instead.

How do you like it? I am going to get one of the two - to do a port of an application soon - not sure which one to go for first.

 

[The_Lillard_King]

Put me on the list of loving the ipad. I keep mine in my car. Use it all the time . . . instant access to the internet, music and my games. (I almost hope there is a long line at DMV so I can play my games for a while)

I know I'm going to get "deux" . . . but loving "uno" so much I'm not in a big hurry. I'll wait till I can get a deal.

 

[VanillaGorilla]

I've never even had a laptop.. lol.

Great so far. I was gonna go with the ipad, but I wanted flash. the honeycomb os is pretty sweet.

What's the catch with that site? Is your buy out of the ordinary? I know you have to pay to bid... but are deals like yours just an abberation?
