Adam: Laura, can I get an iPad? Laura: No way. Too expensive. And they're not much different than a laptop. Adam: I'm not going to listen to your blasphemy. Laura: Adam, it's just a device. It can't make you happy. Adam: That's what you said about the waffle maker. ...Until I changed your mind. Laura: Well, unless you can mix white chocolate chips into an iPad, no dice.
A) An iPad is VERY different from a laptop. An iPad is to a laptop as a TV is to a Computer. They both show pretty pictures, but only one is for actual work :)
B) Laura is absolutely right. Tech doesn’t make one happy. I would agree with benbrilling that you can’t wait on a product forever, but I personally don’t like adopting the first product in a line. I tend to wait for v2 or v3 so some of the initial bugs in any product line get worked out by people with way more money than me :)
