Apple iPad, is it worth it?

It has been said that this new little toy is not a must have. The reason could be because the iPad still has a few things that need to be improved. This article makes a valid claim when it states that many people are more interested in buying smart phones or even new laptops. The iPad is still very versatile, but at the same time it can not do as much as a laptop and many people are discouraged to get one because they are rather large and the wight may become a problem for long periods of time reading. As the holiday seasons are approaching many people are trimming what their budgets are to save a little here and there to be able to get gifts for loved ones. The question is are people going to be getting an iPad? Apple's last quarter was very good, but is it going to stay that way? Especially when the estimates for next quarter where going to be near the 6 million, is that going to happen or is it just a shot in the dark hope that Apple would like to see but will not be able to reach.

This new, fancy piece of technology is known as an e-reader that can do so much more, but with all of the other technology we have is it worth the price? The Apple iPad is a good $200 dollars more then any other e-reader, yes this price different is noticeable. One is able to get on line like you could any computer, there are many apps, it is like the iPod touch only bigger and better. The question that a buyer must ask themselves is it worth it, if you already own a smart phone, laptop, or a desktop, and an iPod of some generation. What would the benefits of having this new toy be other then the fact that it is a new toy.
