Obligatory post about how you should of waited since the new model will be out soon...
True, it wasn't cheap (32gb version). I blame the wife. She had a revealing top on whilst encouraging me to get one. Yeah, that's it .... Dang women.
Well of course! It will be like .00025" thinner which will make all the difference in the world and this one will now be obsolete! There was kind of a comic about this somewhere. Poor guy was living in a dumpster with his iPad or something....
It's not about the features. When the new one comes out the one you bought instantly drops in price. So in other words you wasted money. It's like getting an iPhone 4S the day before the 5 launched. The price went from $199 to $99 after the new launch.
yea but then he wouldn't have it for 1-2 months that he's waiting. i'm not in a rush to purchase one which is why i'm waiting. my primary use for it is going to be to control my HT but for the time being i can just use my phone.
Would you rent an iPad for $100/month?
If people have more money than sense by all means, buy what you want when you want, but I figure most people aren't like that and prefer to be informed when they could easily save ~$100.
I see a fixed gear bike and some diesel jeans in your future.
that analogy doesn't really make any sense. he's not giving his ipad back when he's done with it, nor is he going to be paying $100/month since he already bought it. it's also a rumor that something new is coming out, nothing is confirmed.
Yeah I didn't offer a good analogy. My point was that by waiting a month, he would have saved $100. So in other words, getting that iPad 4 one month sooner cost him an extra $100. That's a lot of money for just 30 more days of use.
Of course this all relies on Apple's tradition of launching new iPads in March. I think the 4 was released very quickly because they didn't want their flagship product using the old style connector.
Just because one iPad update happened sooner-than-expected, rumors have run wild about there being some accelerated refresh cycle (6-7 months). I think it's just not true. It doesn't make sense for Apple and it doesn't make sense for consumers. Apple will simply update iOS devices closer to the end of the year. I think ATV will be an exception again this year.
