Ok… here was my dilemma, the my argument for my decision.
Birthday just passed. And I had the choice between the new iPad and the new iPhone 4.
If you had to choose between the two, which would you choose? I decided on the iPhone, and here’s my thinking…
I already do have the iPhone 3Gs, and I must admit, I can’t survive without it. But do I really need to upgrade again?
The iPad on the other hand, I don’t have obviously, but is what everyone says it is… a large iPod Touch. But still very impressive. Would love having the extra real-estate.
I would probably get the low end iPad if I do get one. Likely the 16GB Wifi model, since this is still the first gen of the product. But that would mean it would sit at home, and used only in the evening or somewhat on the weekend. Even if I had the 3G model, I don’t see myself lugging that thing around with me during the day. Holding it awkwardly in my hand or on my lap as I try to learn to type on its keyboard.
The iPhone fits in my pocket and goes everywhere with me. Yes I already have the 3Gs. But when I upgraded from the 3G, I thought I made a mistake, until I played with my old 3G (which my wife inherited). Let’s just say I couldn’t wait to get my 3Gs back. I’m not too keen on the new features. It’s all about power and speed… and a more decent photography experience (5MP with flash and HD video… yay!)
Ok.. I’m sold.. now to see if I qualify for the HW upgrade… D’oh!
