Dear Santa...

[v2Media]

If I promise to:-

1. Be nice to people that enquire about wanting an eBay clone for $1500 and
2. Stop hanging up in the callers' ear after the phrase "I'm calling in regards to the Government Solar Power" and
3. Stop pretending I'm a Satanist when Jehovah Witnesses come knocking at my door and
4. Trash my belief that xBoxing is classified as 'sport' and
5. Refrain from using loud expletives at able people parking in disables car parks

Can I please have an iPad 2 for Christmas?

I seriously want one of these babies but it's a difficult sell to the boss, or as Burgo puts it 'she who must be obeyed'. Could I ask the members that have an iPad to post one or two reasons why an iPad is an essential item to have for home computing?

You can't have an iPad 2 - because #4 can never be denied!

I skipped the iPad in favour of waiting a year to see what iPad 2 brought with it. While no leaps and bounds, it certainly looks to be a more rounded product to me.

My top reasons for wanting to get it:

1. eBook Reader
2. Replace MBP in the lounge (for Skype/Facebook/Browsing during 'family time)
3. Portable (funky) sales tool
4. High-def Angry Birds

Translating that into reasons why the wife should allow us to get one:

1. I come to bed earlier
2. I'm more attentive during 'family time' (no laptop!)
3. More money to buy you jewllery
4. High-def Angry Birds!!!

Check out the pangea arcade app..

I want!

Does the wife have to be kept?

[January Jade]

I dont yet feel the need... I have a computer :-)

[Burgo]

Last year I entered a competition ...prize iPad
I was phoned by the organisers to say I had not won the iPad.....disappointed
But I had won a laptop.....great
Turned out to be a MacBook Air..11.5"...............asolutelybloodyfantastic.

OK - finally got the iPad. Bypassed the wife all together

Got 3 websites on atm that have to be IOS compatible. So now it's a required piece of business equipment for testing websites. Has it tested any sites yet? No. But that's not the point. ANGRY BIRDS is the point; and Rage HD, and Shoot the Birds, and some globule munching game that's quite funky...

[Burgo]

I must say I'm tempted to get one.
My son has one for work, and takes it every where better than a diary.
His 6 yr old has heeps of fun plays games, even the piano keyboard, watches movies.
Just waiting for some cash to drop by and stay a while.......getting more elusive every day........hahahahahaha

Santa's not like that, be good and your wish will be granted.

If he is as old or older than me your wish wont be granted. You wanna iPod then you buy your own bloody iPod, otherwise go without.

However if you take your wife out to dinner, even flowers once a week. A dirty weekend away or do the washing up, she may just may let you buy your toy.

Otherwise save up the lunch money you were gonna spend over the next few weeks no more beer, wine or spirits for a few weeks then you can justify the new toy.

The other thing is wait for them to come down in price................
