    lol, I would get a psp over an ipad anyday. But seriously, sell the ipad and buy a laptop or something. They're just as portable and can do what an ipad does, and then some.

    or use your phone... not like almost any smart phone cant do what most people do with the ipad. thats just me, I tend to use my phone for net like nuts now. more so then my laptop and desktop

    Netflix is on the ipad now right? Saw something about a app for ipad/itouch? That is the only real use I can find for a ipad as of now. Tho a netbook could do that as well I guess?

    Ppl who say im retarded for getting one just don't need it for the same needs as what I got it for. If they don't meet your needs the of course it'd be stupid to get one but if you could use it then it's amazing at what it does. Tired of all the bullshit ranting about oh em gee the ipad is so stupid. Get over yourselves

    While working elections yesterday I was able to login to the elections site and make sure all of our voting machines were online while i was at the polls getting a tally of current voters who voted. Sure i could've done this on my laptop which is too big to carry around all the time or my phone which is annoyingly small, but i did it on my ipad which was just perfect for me.

    Now for the question at hand, i guess if you don't like it or have no use for it anymore then of course, sell it

    Jink, I have to say this is the first post I have ever seen that seems to make the ipad have a reason.

    Fact stands most have no reason to use it. Its great you get use from it ~_~; but most don't

    edit: just to add, you can look into my room and ask me about any tech item I have and I can give you a good reason why I spent the money I did on it. Even down to why it might have a crap amd CPU.

    Ask most people what they use their ipad for and you wont get a answer like yours. What you said shows you get use from it; that there is a point behind why you spent however much you did on it. It gets the job done for you.

    Next we go to the normal person who has a ipad; they play games, go on the internet, or look at their email. I ask you now what good is it at its given price when you can spend $200 on a netbook and get that much use out of it and more. This is the major downfall of mac items and why people have such a deep hate for them on forums such as this. Its not that they have no point, its just that people buy it just because, they get no real use out of the tech that went into building it.

    Wait so you use it because your phone is too small, sounds like this is just up apple's alley of making shit. My phone is capable of more shit than the ipad and it cost $300 less.

    Just a question but where does all these suggestions about the MP3 player come from, I thought he was just trying to get an alternate to the ipad rather than an MP3 player, I mean unless you guys fit your iPads into your pocket to play MP3s from them or something.

    "Hate" is a word I'd use for...someone who murders my best friend. Not for the company of a product I don't need or use.

    You should be forced to keep it as penance for buying an ipad in the first place.

    Can't we all just get along?

    Whenever I see a PC or Mac I don't see Windows or Apple. I see a tool or instrument that helps me get my work from school, job, or favor I'm doing for that computer illiterate person done.

    We shouldn't be seeing the white or black. Granted blacks might be better at somethings than whites and vice versa but it's not our fault. We didn't make it that way. We're only given more options to help satisfy our needs.

    Join hands fellow brothers and pass the dutchie on the left hand side.

    Am I the only one who hates how computers that are running a windows OS are being called "PCs" but a PC is a Personal Computer, it has nothing to do with Windows, just irritates the shit out of me.

    Yeah I know what you mean. PCs can also run Linux or be Macs, but I couldn't word it any other way to get my point across, unless I used something like... IBM

    What? there are many forms of hate >.> what word would you use? People on this forum (for the most part) hate mac items. I guess maybe distaste might be a little better? I still stand by *hate*

    Jink's justification for using his ipad is because his phone is too small, I don't see where I'm hating for the fact that I can, (which I do hate it btw). It's just not very cost-efficient to use an iPad. Period.
