I have a dilemma and I am hoping someone can give me some guidance. I was in best buy the other day and they had a 32 gig iPad open box (basically untouched--not a scratch on it) that they agreed to sell me for 499. Being a lover of all things apple I couldn't resist and I snapped it up.
I have played with it for the past couple of days and it is great. Our 3 year old has particularly taken a liking to it.
But I am on the fence whether to keep it. The main reason why is that we have a MacBook that we purchased in December. Although surfing is better on the iPad, it can be frustrating without the ability to play flash videos (hulu/espn 360).
I would probably return it and save the money but I feel like I got a good deal on it and I am sure the iPad is only going to get better with the release of more applications. But should I simply wait until it does get better or until they relase an even better iPad next year?
I wish iBooks offered a subscription service. I love the idea of the book reader but my wife reads a lot and we would go broke buying 4 books a week on iBooks. I wish they had a subscription service so that it would be more appealing than going to the local library to check out books.
Anyone else in a similar situation who can share their thought process on whether they kept or returned the item (note i checked with best buy and they will not charge me a restocking fee should i decide to return it). Thx everyone.
