Should I buy an iPad for my wife when she already has a laptop and blackberry?

Question by AGW: Should I buy an iPad for my wife when she already has a laptop and blackberry?
Hi. My wife says she wants an iPad for her birthday but the reviews I’ve read/heard, portrayed the iPad as being over-rated. In addition, we have two laptops and a blackberry in the house. Would the iPad fill a gap in our household technology or would it be a waste of money?

Best answer:

Answer by ljdsfjsdbsvdcccc
it would be a waste of money as your laptops and blackberry can perform the same function. however if your wife has asked for it, you should probably buy it for her. when she buys a new pair of shoes, it is not to ‘fill the gap’ in her shoe collection- as she probably has numerous pairs that do the same job. but she motionless wants the new ones all the same. the same logic is transferred to wanting the new ipad..

New iPad Cases Released Into the Wild

New iPad Cases Released Into the Wild

Charlotte, NC (PRWEB) March 08, 2012

iPadCaseFinder.com, the leader in iPad case distribution, is pleased to announce the availability of cases for the new iPad from Apple.

Earlier today Apple announced the latest edition of its iPad which features a retina display and A5X processor. The depth of the device is 9.4mm compared to 8.8mm from the previous iPad. This will not have an effect on the most popular cases that have been sold so far.

“We’re very excited as most Apple fans are, that the new iPad will be released on March 16th.” Keith Schilling, owner of iPadCaseFinder, said. “A few of the manufacturers have already had their hands on prototypes and have been hard at work manufacturing cases for the new iPad.”

Some iPad cases necessitate an exact fit for the device, while others such as iPad sleeves and portfolios do not. The small change in depth will not account for much difference, however they are expected to bring in a number of new cases from the overstep players.

iPadCaseFinder.com has been selling cases since the 1st generation iPad hit the market. The original site hosted images of the latest cases for vistiors to peruse but later turned the site into an ecommerce megastore for all things iPad.

“Its great to build relationships with customers that are as passionate about the latest iPad devices as you are,” Keith Schilling stated, “it truly makes our job much more enjoyable.”
