I have a reputation amongst my friends and family as an iGeek; an Apple fanboy. While it’s true that I use Apple hardware and software a true fanboy is a lobotomised zombie, incapable of listening to reason and believes Steve Jobs is Christ incarnate.
So because of this reputation I received, and I shit you not, hundreds of enquires wanting to know when I’m getting my iPad. Now pay attention to this very carefully; I NEVER EVER BUY FIRST GEN TECHNOLOGY, ESPECIALLY FROM APPLE!
I had the opportunity to buy an iPhone on the day they were launched in the US. My father was in New York staying at a hotel over looking the 5th Avenue Store. I even called him and asked him to line up and grab one for me. Then changed my mind. And very happy I was about that decision. My current iPhone 3GS is lightyears ahead of the prototype that was being sold then. The same will be true for the iPad too.
This flow chart explains my thinking perfectly.
I can’t imagine why anybody would want to be a beta tester for Apple. Especially when YOU’RE paying for the privilege. But I do appreciate all the fanboys who are going to part with their hard earned dollars (probably on their credit card) to help Apple out with their R&D. I might look buying iPad 2.0 which will be faster, lighter, cheaper, have double the GBs and look cooler.
