I do have a points file. It may have to go home with me tonight.

Well if I sabotage the blade I may hear of any 'issues'.

well, the iPad 3 looks interesting, but only if you live in one of the few areas with 4G connectivity. I'm happy with my old iPad and iPad 2 for the uses I currently have.

I skipped the first two so the 3 it is. Looks like i will be going with verizon LTE as they have a more robust network. Just worry a bit as ATT historically produces much better data download than verizon for me.

I really didn't want either of the two I got, but my wife insisted.....seriously. The first one is wireless only, so I use it at home. The iPad is 3G, and I appreciate being able to browse the net without being connected to a network when I'm out of the house. Faster downloads would be nice, but aren't enough of an incentive to spend another $600+. Once again, however, my wife is telling me she wants me to have it, but this time I really think I'll dig in. There are so many other things I'd like to have more, like a G12. I'm not sure she'll believe me, though.

I'm actually kind of glad they didn't drop the price point. Would have been a dumb move - would have devalued the devices currently owned by people just by setting a lower price to compete with the Kindle Fire.

That being said, I always skip a generation with this stuff, and since I have the iPad2, I'll wait for the next iPad to replace it.

I do that with most technology as well but tend not to do it with cameras, or at least I haven't so far. I'm still contemplating the MkIII though.

[Belmondo]

I think that's a good plan. I went from an iPhone to a 3GS, then to the 4. The 4G looks really sexy and does have some interesting new features, but I don't believe I need any of them, and the iPad just gives me redundancy anyway. I decided it's not worth $400.00 and another two years of indentured servitude. I'm happy to wait and see what comes next.

I also agree with your observations on the price point.

Still rockin' a 3G iPad MkI and still pretty happy with it.

Phone though is getting long in the bluetooth and will probably be the next upgrade

[Mistabernie]

G12 is slowly coming down in price.. I've seen them recently around the $350 mark which seems like a pretty good deal. I have to imagine getting rid of an old iPad would do wonders to get you towards the goal of getting one of those little guys (I am almost sad that I didn't just cough up the extra money and get that instead of the S95, but I got mine from the ridiculous Amazon deal they had not too long before Christmas - $229 I believe - and couldn't pass it up).

True story, I buy cell phones more regularly than I buy clothing.

What if you sell the 3g ipad? That would put a big dent into the price of a new one.
