Sorry to offend you. It's been pumped in my head how important consumer faith is and how we (as consumers) need to spend money. Maybe I shouldn't have taken that economics class taught by W. and Obama.sleeper;711343 wrote:I'm not even going to try and explain to you why this is incorrect. Stick to comedy and leave things that actually matter to those who know what they are talking about.

Wouldn't it have been smarter and less costly to wait and buy the first one now since the price has dropped with the release of the ipad2 ?justincredible;711449 wrote:You're assuming a lot so why not assume that it was the plan all along for her to pass on the first one to him once the second one came out?

No. Because the iPad 2 is cooler and she can go post on Facebook about how cool she is because she owns one. You know you're life is boring when buying an oversized iPod is worth 3 hours of your life standing in a line.Skyhook79;711458 wrote:Wouldn't it have been smarter and less costly to wait and buy the first one now since the price has dropped with the release of the ipad2 ?
