...iPad for Xmas would be a wish granted for me.
We spent the afternoon in town yesterday and I casually, unpurposefully, deliberately strolled into the huge Apple store on Northumberland Street and spent a gleeful half hour having a good play with the new Apple iPad.
Boy, what a piece of kit that is!
Now, how to convince Santa I've been a good boy all year and deserve one!  |

Maybe it could be Siren's Christmas present? Ideal if she isn't at in interesting in the iPad and doesn't end up using it? It would be such a waste just sat there not being used by her?
See the guilt then passes from you to her? So she can never moan if you have one then? A reverse logic thing? If that makes sense?  |

She'd soon see through that - considering she knows I want one and she already has an iPhone so wouldn't need an iPad.
Can't justify £429 for a basic iPad though. I'll wait till they come down in price a bit. |

The biggest problem is that the basic iPad is kind of that really? I think I'd have to go for at least a 3G one and some memory in it too... because that give you the free of not needing a WiFi connecction for starters and you'll soon find that if your suddenly a bit of a fan of all those little Apps... space does start to fill up on it... and you need to concider home many naughty picture of Siren you need to store and it and the music collection too that you know gets her in the mode for fun? lol
Ad as with any Apple product its going to get updated... I'm guessing Febuary sometime? So will the new one be the one you want? As it does lack some basics as it is? No USB connection for starter and you can just now start printing from it using Air Print or whatever apple call it?
Its a hard call to make... and I'm kind of there with you... I'd love one but having a iPhone already... it that but just big really... and then there is the Mac Book Air sat there and that isn't so badly priced for such a slim light piece of pure beauty... but it can't run the Apps I love like on the iPhone or iPad... but it is going to happen in the future they say?
Apple products are always the same... the desire to get the next one up buggers up the logic of getting anything in the end? if that makes sense? |

Can you not say it is a safety back-up... as it's too big to drop into a cup of coffee? |

She'd just go get a bigger cup so she can keep her 100% record of destroying anything electrical within 24 hours of acquiring it.  |
