    Spending R6000+ to read a comic??? Dude, that is utterly insane!! I'd rather buy the comics. Who knows, maybe you will get one of those that in 40 years is worth like a million bucks. In 40 years yr Ipad will be the thing underneath the dog house keeping it level.

    can't wait to get a tablet, but waiting for the android versions to release first before make any decision.
    not only cause they will be cheaper but for other reasons.

    The ipad looks the best so far, it really does look good but the price is eina.
    I'm not a fan of apple and I didn't really like my touch all that much and having to use the software.

    It's definitely in SA. CEO of Bidvest Bank just got one lol. Was sitting in a meeting with the head of IT, when he gets called away by the CEO for a few minutes and comes back with the iPad. Had to set it up for the boss

    Dunno what he paid for it though. Not sure the price was a consideration, either.
    The difference between pizza and your opinion is that I asked for pizza.

    I was thinking the same thing, as I am also not a Apple fan, but my biggest fear is that it will take Android devices, even Google's own one, at least 1 generation to get to where Apple is in way of deals with publications and such. Apple is, as with ipods, setting a trend. Before the original Ipods there where loads of other mp3 players, heck even better ones but Apple managed to make it something the world wanted and WHAM the digital download market for buying Music shot sky high. Hopefully the Ipad can do the same same for printed media, bringing the idea of ebooks and such to the masses.
