[QUOTE="RavingMac, post: 990320, member: 45350"] [b]No one size fits all[/b] I think most of the complaints I've seen about the iPad as demo'ed fall into two categories: 1) It doesn't have [fill in the blank] 2) It won't completely replace [fill in the blank] Nothing has or does everything. If it did you couldn't carry it or couldn't afford it. The real question is: Does the iPad do the things I want done well enough and conveniently enough to justify the expense? There are always tradeoffs and cost benefits to every decision. To me the most pointless exercise is the demand that any device be a do everything device (as in a total laptop or netbook replacement). I like to cook and have an extensive collection of knives--of that number I have a few favorites and could get by with just one in a pinch. Since I don't have to choose only one I will continue to use and find value out of all of them. None of my knives is ideal for every situation, but they each bring something to the table (pun intended). :) I see the iPad I plan to purchase, the MBP and iPhone I already own, and all my other electronic devices the same way. If I think that I will get $499 or more in value out of the new iPad I'll get one; if not I won't. [/QUOTE]
