ckravitz Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Alright, this may seem a little dumb, but I want to know if I should save my money to get either the iPad 2 (when it comes out) or the new lines (People Tree and Alberti Ferreti) by Ms. Watson. I have an iPad that is in perfect condition, but I'm expecting the iPad 2 to have a few things that I could really use for school (I bring my iPad to school everyday for notes and audio recordings). For example, if it has a rear-facing camera I can take pictures of classwork and completely get rid of the clutter of papers in my binders and folders. However, I really would like "better" clothes than I have now. Note: The iPad 2 would be an extra benefit for school. The current one still works fine, and is better-than-suffiant for school currently. My birthday falls out perfectly in mid-March. Obviously, this is when Spring starts (both lines of clothing are "spring/summer"). Also, the new iPad is expected to come out in April. For me, school ends on June 4th (+/- a day or two). So, I would only get to fully use the iPad for a little over a month (assuming an April/Easter release).Obviously, I would get a lot of use out of the clothes. I'm thinking about waiting to see the clothes first, than deciding from there. Or, waiting to see the new features of the iPad 2 (there are always leaks a few weeks before announcing). However I would like to hear your opinions. So, please either vote, leave a reply, or both. Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites
The Dude Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 The iPad doesn't have expandable storage does it? I know that the iPad has flash storage but what if you did have a crash? Doesn't it worry you to eschew all of your paperwork and put everything on the iPad? Do you back it up in some way? Can you back it up in the cloud? Link to post Share on other sites
ckravitz Posted January 4, 2011 Author Share Posted January 4, 2011 (edited) The iPad doesn't have expandable storage does it? I know that the iPad has flash storage but what if you did have a crash? Doesn't it worry you to eschew all of your paperwork and put everything on the iPad? Do you back it up in some way? Can you back it up in the cloud? I back it up to my computer every week. I have an amazing app called "Complete Class Organizer" that backs up all my notes, homework, etc. If I were to ever lose it or have it stolen, I would still have all my notes on my computer. Also, just as a side note, if it was stolen, than what I can do is go onto www.me.com and perform a "Data Wipe," which erases all the personal information from the device.

Michael Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I would wait until the beginning of march and then decide. There is no offical release date for the iPad 2 yet and may be it comes out later. Link to post Share on other sites

It's necessary, of course, because our last government got the country into a huge deficit. Any idea what the sales tax is in California? Link to post Share on other sites

Kim. Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I would you suggest you save your money for clothing.There was a time in my life where I didn't have enough money to buy clothing for two years. I went to school with pretty much the same clothing each week. And, again, last year I was given the option of what I wanted for Christmas: an iTouch or glasses. I picked the iTouch and now I have to pay out of pocket, without insurance (since I lost my insurance last February), for new prescription glasses. The ones I'm wearing are seven years old.If you have an iPad already, and it's still in good use then I would wait until the iPad 2 goes down in price after it's released to purchase it. What ever happened to putting pen to paper to take notes and brining your digital recorder with you to class? -shrug- I guess I'm old fashioned. Link to post Share on other sites

Maximum local surtax is 10.75%: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sales_taxes_in_the_United_States?wasRedirected=true What ever happened to putting pen to paper to take notes and brining your digital recorder with you to class? -shrug- I guess I'm old fashioned. I know what you mean, but it really is so much easier than writing it down. I have a lot of notes in school (I'm in "higher" classes), and my binders would be another few inches thicker if it wasn't for the iPad. Link to post Share on other sites

ckravitz Posted January 5, 2011 Author Share Posted January 5, 2011 Is the new clothing line even going to have items for men? The Fall/Winter People Tree collection did, so I assume the Spring/Summer People Tree and Alberta Ferreti will, too. Link to post Share on other sites
