Wait til the 3rd generation - my new iPad

It's taken 2 full years of massive self control, but I finally plunked down my hard-earned cash for an iPad.

It's not that I didn't want it before.   I just didn't need it, particularly at the functionality to cash outlay ratio of the original iPad.   This delayed gratification leaves me much less conflicted  when I finally adopt an Apple device.

So this has evolved into my personal rule about Apple - wait for the third generation.  The first generation usually leaves out some critical functionality.   For example, the iPhone took 3 generations, almost 4.   iPod took six.   The iPad had no front-facing camera and was a little on the heavy side

The second generation - basically fixes the problems from the first generation.   The third generation is finally the leap forward that is cost-effective.   By this point I knew that 3G/4G connectivity was a must for me.  I had investigated many apps and tried them on iPhone.    So over the next few posts, I will tell you what I am using the iPad for, and how it could be better.
