When ipad hit the market, i was thinking in buying it because it will allow me to read my email, blogs, newspapers, sites, etc. without needing to turn on a computer. But it was expensive and i didn’t need the other features of ipad (games). So I waited some months and now Amazon has the perfect device for my needs. No ipad for me :-)

I don’t have an iPad but I’ve owned an ipod touch for years and in my mind it’s just a miniature version – plus handier as I can slip this right in my pocket!

The only things I really use the ipod touch for are checking email and also viewing the Internet during the day while I’m on the move. It’s got some great apps but mostly they are just big time wasters. When I first bought it I played loads of games but I don’t bother now – my time is too valuable.

It is useful for shopping and I use the Amazon app and also the eBay app often. I also frequently use the Kindle app and synch up my reading with my Kindle.

However, despite all this gloss. If I could only have 1 gadget it would be my Kindle 2 hands down. I am a big reader as in I read daily and I never ever get eyestrain with the Kindle. It’s simply gorgeous to read outside (cant even see my ipod touch screen in the sun) and the fact I can download books right from the kindle itself and not have to mess about hooking it up to a computer etc.

Heres another thing which is very important to me – battery life. I mean I rarely seem to charge the Kindle even though it really is used constantly. I have to charge my ipod touch every single day and I do find the lack of battery life in it very annoying. It annoyed me so much that it has put me off buying an iPad.

Thing is for he same price as an ipad here in the UK, I can buy a really decent laptop with tons of bells and whistles and hey some handy USB ports too! Unless the ipad price comes down to around half of what it currently is I’ll never buy one – just don’t see why I need it.
