Who’s buying? For me, even if I would have the money, will I buy this gadget? Maybe no because hubby has work at this day and by the time we get to the mall later that day, it might have long run out of stock. Will just wait for the price to go down or maybe that would be too late too because maybe by that time rumors of the iPad 3 will be circulating by then. Plus it is quite not practical because we still have to maximize the use of our  good old Samsung Galaxy Tab P1000 which is already a tablet, a cellphone with front and rear camera.

But if you ask me would I want to have the iPad2? Yes of course!!! Who am I not to wnat one?  That is if only someone gives me one! I love the look of this gadget plus it is an Apple of the eye! I would not deny I would still glance at someone who has an Apple but it just ends there. By the end of the day, we have a Galaxy Tab that basically has what I need and yet I don’t use it as much because I end up using more comfortably my old reliable lappy at home. And I am happy with what I have because I already have what I need. It’s our wants that makes us want more. And an Apple is a want not a need for a mom like me. But hey Apple gadget peeps, go and buy this fave gadget!
