The iPad Cometh

As a proud owner of a Macbook and an iPod Touch, I have a number of rational reasons for not spending between $500-800 on an Apple iPad. My iPod can run almost all the functions an iPad can and fit in my pocket. And my Macbook is a more powerful machine than an iPad in a package that I never felt wasn't portable enough.

Do I need to invest in a "tweener" machine that doesn't really beat out the other two devices I own? Probably not. But do I want an iPad? Dude, yes!@#$111

For strictly emotional reasons, I want an iPad. I want it cause it looks hot. I want it cause it's a new piece of tech. I want it just to have it. My lust for this iPad is strong. Someone talk me out of buying one, quick!
