What you just described shows you are young, and on the move, while I'm old, and slower moving. You need portibility, while I need a big screen, lots of power, storage, my reading glasses, good lighting, and a big soft swivel chair.

Rather than illuminating the shortsidedness exhibited here, I'll just say, check back in two years. We'll see where cloud computing is. There are hurdles to overcome, but I don't believe any of the nay sayers in this topic understand where it is going.

Why not just get a good laptop? For the price of an iPad, you can get SO much more. A bigger screen, an OS capable of anything, flash, you can watch dvd's, and upgrade it.
The iPad 3 will come around and the laptop I had 3 years ago will still be more powerful I'm sure. The iPad 2 has a maximum of 64gb of storage, 1nghz processor, and a 10 inch screen. For the same price, you can get at least 250gb of storage, 2.5 ghz processor, 17 inch screen, burn dvds, 4gb of RAM. The list goes on. I think all of these electronic gadgets are just becoming fashion accessories. I bought an iPod a couple months ago. Cost me $20. iPod nano, second generation. I don't need to swipe my fingers across the screen, shake it, or talk to it to be able to listen to music.

I use my IPad all the time. Daily, multiple times a day. It ain't about the Cloud, its about the apps. It is a great content reader, no matter what the content, and if you travel, it is a heck of a lot easier carrying it around than a laptop. The Ipad just lays around and everyone in the house uses it. I can see have a bunch of them (when the prices drop) just laying around the house.
As for the Cloud, I got totally into the cloud the last time my computer's hard drive failed. everything goes to the cloud now. |

Tablet technology has everything to do with it. Steve Jobs soon will be outclassed by the rest of the computer world. He always goes it alone, and soon his tablet will only appeal to the botique market his other computers appeal to. Not playing nice with the other boys will come back to bite him.
