Shall I buy an iPad?

[Purple]

Hi everyone,

I am thinking about buying an iPad. I am willing to go as high as buying the highest model. My questions for you are:

1) Shall I buy it?

if so...

2) What Model (Size/Wifi or 3G?)

3) What are the best uses for it?

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated as my birthday is just a month away and I would probably be able to get enough birthday money to pay for it. Thank you everyone, +REP ofc!

i don't think you should buy one at all. but something worthwhile such as money towards a car or something

If you have to ask, don't.

Agreed. Go with what you think, although I would personally put the money towards something far more valuable to me, such as my car. If you have to take more than a minute to think about whether or not you want/need one, it's probably best that you don't get it.

I've heard that some people are waiting until the 2nd updated release of the iPad as it allows you to do more stuff which is not available on the iPad out now.

To answer your questions:

1. Yes you should buy it
2. Size wise - it would depend what you are wanting to put on it. WiFi or 3G? - This depends where you are going to use it mainly and if those places have WiFi connections which you can have access on to - if they do then obviously WiFi is the best option.
3. Its basically a bigger version of the iPhone but obviously its not a phone, but it does have more accessories and apps.

No it doesn't.

According to a program on TV i watch it does have stuff that's not available on the iPhone.

I believe it was The Gadget Show and they are usually correct about stuff when they check them out.

The Gadget Show is laughable to say the least!

I don't think you should, I sold mine ages ago. Typing is weird, unless you buy the keyboard which is a hefty price too.

Seems like Blackberry have created their own 'Tablet', If i was you id buy this over the iPad
