- MBP 15" 2.4GHz i5 4GB... iPad 64GB WiFi + 3G
I recently bought a 15" MBP for myself which I love and will never leave Apple [apart from Monday - Friday when I have to use Dell ]... I never thought of buying an iPad as I just spent a lot of money on the MBP and I have seen here that people are "starting to use their MBP less and less" since buying the iPad.
So today I get a phone call form my sister asking me what I wanted for my birthday (next Sunday). I tell her I have no idea, maybe flights somewhere but she said no thats too boring!! Then she said - would you like an iPad!?! I was walking passed a retailer that has iPad's in stock so I popped in and spent 40 minutes playing with one... Now I want one!
I'm trying to rationalise my reasoning for getting one: I do a lot of travelling with work, away from the office at least once a week, staying in hotels and flying to other countries in Europe. I use my iPod nano to watch movies, listen to music while I am travelling... But now I am thinking an iPad would be very cool to watch movies etc!
So I am looking for some honest genuine advice: I would probably get the 32GB Wi-Fi + 3G.
Any / all advice welcome - the good, bad and the ugly - the more the better!
Thank you kindly!

- Should I get one or not?
- People who have both MBP & iPad, which are you using more? What do you use iPad for vs use MBP for?
- Knowing Apple, an upgrade will be made to the iPad within the next 12 months, anybody have and thoughts / premonitions as to what could possible be done to the iPad to improve it?
