I went and did it... iPad 3G for next tour...
Let's get this out of the way first. What an over priced jumbo sized IPod Touch! I haven't even opened the box yet. My plan is to head out next week on tour down the Pacific Coast with it. I will be selling it upon completion of the tour on the Bay. One thing I figured is that apple fan boys love paying to much for this stuff used as well.
Why you ask then did I buy it? Well I don't need a mifi and my Black Berry doesn't tether. I don't have to sign up for any contract and like most current Apple products they seem to have decent resale.
Time will tell if this was a good idea or not. Stay tuned for pic's and raves or rants about this thing for the next month.
That is all,
