Sure, why not? At only $499 I feel like it's worth having just to use in my house. I plan to dock it at my computer desk and use it in conjunction with my desktop for music playback, video, etc. I can undock it and go read a book or browse the internet. I certainly could use a laptop for that but this is smaller, cheaper, has a nicer display, and is going to have huge third party support. The iWork demo really shows the potential of doing desktop quality applications on the iPad. I'm sold. The low price tag actually makes me wonder if I should buy two. I wouldn't mind docking one of these into my car. (I was going to spend $400 on a nice in-dash player with good iPod integration anyway, what's another $99?)
- mortenjorck 17y ago"Only $499" essentially depends on where you are in this recession right now. If you've survived so far or are back on track, if your employer or business is in the black and you're a decently-paid professional without too many expenses, it's probably a worthwhile investment in improving your digital lifestyle. If your outlook is more mixed, especially if you're part of that 10% of Americans currently without a job, you probably want to keep that $499 in the account just in case you need it when you go out for groceries in the coming months.
