iPad 2 Arrives Tomorrow, Who's Getting One?

Sorry Apple, I'll have to pass. Not interested in this product at all, or any tablet for that matter.

I just can't justify paying that much for such a limited device, especially compared to laptops in the same price range, let alone the new AMD Brazos netbooks/ultra-portables that are cheaper.

not me, but i would love to lurk around the apple store and see the brainwashed apple zombies

me neither

"I want one", and coming from me, its strange. I've never been the least interested in tablets, except when Dave reviews them in video. After that, I gained interest.

As of now, I can't justify a $500 purchase of the least expensive Ipad model...there's no way that I can get a return investment.

But if I had the money to spare, Yes I would buy it, especially since its more powerful and practical.

(Sorry Apple, there's a new speaker system announced yesterday that's going to get some "Avatar Extended Collectors Edition (BD)" love in all its 5.1 glory coming soon)....now that's a return investment that's priceless.

Count me!!!!! Out...

I just don't see the need for to spend 500 on what my phone and nook can do better. 

I would love to get a tablet if they would drop the prices. Someone please enlighten me on why you have to pay an extra $130 to sign a 2 year contract for 3G.

Count me out for any tablet at this price level. In order for me to bother with what is basically a very limited media consumption device, the price would have to be $250 or below.

I agree with you guy's if I was to get a tablet it would be first after they update Honeycomb a bit, or the Blackberry slate. I just don't get the point myself as much of you have stated, for a purchase on a limited device. If you think about it though these have as much or more (iPad2,Xoom, Blackberry) than a netbook ever had. So for a mobile device it could be very useful. The iPad has them all beat on price, but I can't even get an extra battery. I really look at Apple IOS as the ultimate ripoff as it is a proprietary Unix based device. I could grab a no name slate and put Linux on it if I wanted that for $3-400, and probably have every input I wanted and change the battery.

If I buy a tablet in the near future it will be the Samsung Tab 10.1

Of course for big OEM slate's Apple has them all beaten price wise so far.

The price is what stops me from buying one. It's all market driven, and as long as the iSheep (as someone called them) keep paying whatever Apple tells them to pay, the prices are gonna be stuck in Neverland.

I like the design and the way it works. I like that it now comes in white. I like that they made it better without 'shearing' the iSheep a little closer too. I really like this device, but I don't like it $500.00-$830.00 worth. I don't have enough Wool.

Realistically what is the point in buying an iPad if I already have an iPod touch??  Just size? Is that the real difference?  That doesn't justify paying 3 times the price... :S
