Sorry I missed your question. I got the 64 gig with 3g. Overkill but I did it anyway. I think the 32gig is the sweet spot but they are hard to find around here.

That is a nice looking case. I got the Apple case and it works for right now. I went to my daughters yesterday for football and homemade stew. My daughter took my iPad, downloaded some free game she has been playing with some friends, and would not let me have it back until I left. My grandson took my iPhone and went to the couch with it. I got it back when I left.

So now you need another

I will if I hang out at her house very much.

I keep wondering if I actually want/need an iPad. I know I am getting one for my wife when version 2 comes out, but I keep re-evaluating my needs and wonder if the macbook air would be the better choice for me.

One man's opinion.

Thanks for the link. Interesting reading and I wonder if he has the newest macbook air?

It's weird...but my needs have definitely lessened. Used to be I would want the latest Powermac (never owned a Mac Pro), but now I'm thinking the mac mini is all I need.

And that got me to think about the iPad. Am I wanting one just to have something cool to show off or will I use it as much as I think I will?

Thats a though call John? I dunno myself. I certainly could use a iPhone without AT&T.

Good friend comes over on the weekends, used to bring his MBP all the time - Since his mom bought him a iPad for his birthday a few weeks ago, now he only brings the iPad. Plus he also has a iPhone4.

The line between need and want is a fine one when dealing with Apple products. I have a notebook so I didn't need another one. I do not like to play games on the computer but I do enjoy them on the iPad. My grandson and I have several games that we play back and forth and my niece and I play word games. The fact that it moves with me is probably the one thing I like about it most. I do not use it for productivity other than reading, e-mail, and the internet. If you really need something for portability and productivity I would think about the Air.

My grandson reminded me that I need to bring my iPad when I come over for Thanksgiving.
