Apple's iPad: to buy or not to buy

The idea of having an iPad 2 is something that has been bugging my mind for quite some time already. I know it's not something that I can justify as a necessity, but hey, iPod is not a necessity but I still bought one anyway (in spite of the fact that I have two MP3 players already). While iPad 2 is not a necessity (more like a piece of miracle), having one is probably one of the greatest thing that could ever happen to me! OK that was an exaggeration, but seriously, an iPad is an iPad.

In addition to the fact that there probably are no available units for now, I guess I'll have to re-think this again and again. While the iPad can do so many things, it also can't do really specific things that I need as a consultant. I frequently need to test software and applications that are intended for desktop PCs. And I just can't find the apps in iPad that can run these.

But again, I still want one.

  1. I have the first generation iPad and surprisingly I wasn't tempted to get the second version. Maybe I'll wait for iPad 4. But seriously, I'm much contented with the iPad despite the mushrooming of other tablets.
