I can understand two out of three of those purchases but the other one - shakes his head in wonderment

I assume you mean the IPad!!!!!!

I have resisted buying one... Things often come to my mind when watching TV and I end up going up to the office and researching the idea on the net. I dont like laptops.  Touch is definetely the future!

Anyway last night I checked my eMails, bought a case for the Ipad, logged onto a client to check why the backup hadnt run - all during the adverts. Luxury......

Also when I go on holiday I end up taking a netbook so I can login to my clients with logmein or the office PC.  I can use my IPhone but its a bit fiddly.

IPad rocks, if you havent got one - get one!!!!!

All my life when I've worked hard for a week (60+hours) or had a good deal I buy myself a present or go to an expensive restaurant - makes it worthwhile.

My wife bought me an iPad in March. I see them being used all the time
at work. So, I need to get into writing apps for them. I think it'll be
a steep learning curve but fun.

I used to take my laptop on holidays too for customer support.  Now I do it all on my iPad.  Much nicer sitting in a cafe with an iPad on the table than a big laptop.

I also store all my technical/reference books, manuals and other books on my iPad.  I have around 60 books in iBooks and almost 30 in the Kindle app. On top of that I subscribe to some magazines which are delivered straight to the device.  Beats carrying all of them around.  Great for the waiting room at the doctors.  

I do my banking on it as well when I'm not at home or in the office.  And I have drawing software which I use to draw diagrams, flowcharts, mindmaps and designs.  

Couldn't live without my iPad now.

Errrr - that implies that the iPad hasn't!

>The Apple apps are so cheap though

So are the ones on Android Market (or Play as its now called - gives a good clue as to how serious the apps are) but many of them are targeted at phones and the vast majority are naff - bit like Apple's market

My favourite is the guy who wrote an app that put a big red circle on your iPhone, charged $5000 (or something outrageous) and some morons actually bought it.
