You can get a new fancy well rounded i5 computer/laptop for the same money as the Ipad, and it will do more stuff, but sometimes you want what you want, and nothing else will do.

I think just as much fun can be had from the research and the hunt as from the actual item itself.

I too am a gadget girl. love them! I have fancy camera's a 10 inch laptop a 17 inch laptop a desktop with a terrabyte hard drive in it and all the toys, I have the Wii, PS3, and so on. love love love my gadgets, but the one I depend on most is that MP3 player or the IPOD touch. I do my calendar, my schedule, keep track of meds, injections, and it tucks neatly into my pocket or my little wallet purse. its my 2nd one. I got rid of the first one when the 2nd generation came out with a camera in it, and I thought that would be one less thing to drag around with me.

Let us know what you find.
