I absolutely do not need one, and I can prove it. :-) I have an iPad 2 sitting on my desk right here. I use it for developing and testing iPad apps. The rest of the time, it is 100% idle. I have never once used it to watch videos, answer email, or anything else. It's sitting right there--I could use it at any time, but I always reach for the netbook or desktop instead. (I've used my phone for all those things, though, when I'm out and don't have a computer.) My reasons are simple: my other devices are better than tablet PCs at basically everything I do. Other people's needs make a tablet a better choice. So the author can flag all the legitimate reasons he and I don't need a tablet, but how can he claim to speak for everyone else?
