Let's not start a Windows vs Mac war. I have an iPhone yet I have a Dell Laptop and a custom desktop I built myself. I use whatever works best.

That being said, I don't use Apple Laptops/Desktops because I'm an engineering student and SolidWorks just doesn't work on them and not to mention you can get much more for your money buying a PC. Yes, it's a little more user intensive requiring to work out a few more bugs and to deal with more settings yourself (if you want to make the most of it, at least). With a Mac it's "if it doesn't work, buy our version of the software - if none exists, sorry."

However, I would not trade my iPhone for any other phone. I just can't see any Windows mobile phone or whatever they call it getting anything near the iPhone. I have an iTouch too and I have to say that I'd also take that over any other "Mp3 player" cause the iTouch is more than that.

I will have to say that, in my opinion, the iPad has a VERY limited target group.

I have a 17" desktop replacement laptop, and an iPhone. So I have a HUGE "portable" device to the smallest one (that I conveniently always have on me because it's my phone). So if anything I'd want to get something right in the middle. I wouldn't want an iPad because it's just my phone with a bigger screen. At that point I'd buy a netbook (a powerful one though, I was looking at an Asus 12" with an Intel DualCore and dedicated Nvidia graphics card).

I'd say an iPad is only really logical for someone with a huge laptop (or a laptop with poor battery life) and a "dumb" phone (aka, not a smartphone - one that texts and calls and thats it).
