  • Buying an iPad here soon.

    Should I wait for the new one to come out? Or drop $600 now? I am sick of being the only one without this cool device!

      If I were buying a brand new one, I would wait for the next one.

      If I really wanted one now, I would buy a refurb from the apple store.

        Don't listen to falafel.

        Buy the new iPad now otherwise you will be waiting a while (note that the new iPad was just released in march). Also, when the next iPad comes out next year sell it, stand in line, and buy the new one.

          You're one of the ones who convinced me that refurbished is just as good as new!

            That was before I doubled down on AAPL.

                The new one comes out every March, too long to wait. Just buy a new one right now.
                Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

                    Same warranty, looks brand new, $50 cheaper (on average).

                    AAPL is the stock symbol.

                      How much are you going to save? Just buy a new one. Or buy an iPad2. The iPad3 has a nicer screen and some hardware improvements. While the screen is a nice upgrade, I'm not sure if the hardware improvements have been that significant. My iPad2 still operates flawlessly. The iPad2 is slightly thinner and lighter and IIRC, a battery charge may even last longer, so not only is it a bit cheaper but there are a couple very limited advantages.

                      But the iPad3 also has Siri, which is important. If you look outside and see rain and ask Siri if it's raining, Siri will confirm to you that it's raining.

                        Why buy new? I've bought two refurbed ipads. Both looked brand new and have functioned flawlessly. Its not a huge discount from the new ones, but why not save $50?

                          I bought an iPad Mini over the weekend. MJ took iPad on a trip and I've always wanted a second (his/hers) so I bit the bullet and got the mini. I gotta say, I like it much more than the full size iPad. Much lighter and easier to hold and just as smooth and seamless. It's also easier to hide the screen while playing games at church.

                          Anyone else have an iPad Mini?

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

                            I love my iPad. But I think the Kindle Fire HD is superior to the iPad mini. I can't really say why. The mini felt awkward in my hands and was visually unsatisfying. I don't know how else to explain it.

                              I can't see any reason to buy the iPad mini over the nexus 7 or kindle fire.
