I want an iPad so badly but am trying to wait for the second generation. I agree with Range that it will be better. I also need to figure out what I will actually do with it! I want it but I <em>really</em> don't need it. Cerentha Maybe it’s just me clutching at straws. I want an iPad so badly but am trying to wait for the second generation.

If you don't have enough self control to limit your spending, waiting for a second gen device is not going to help. 5. Is this based on data, first hand knowledge, or just speculation? I've had zero problems with 3G on my iPad. In the end, this just seems to boil down to "it's risky to buy a first gen anything". Agreed, but why try to pad it out with all that other stuff? (pun intended). 3/4. If you don’t have enough self control to limit your spending, waiting for a second gen device is not going to help.
