Why I’m not buying an iPad

The new Apple iPad released today. As lines across the country formed, I was content to catch up on some much needed sleep instead. That’s right, despite what some might call a “fanboy” status, I am not buying an iPad.  Here’s why:

• I already own an iPad Nano. Except my “nano” can make phone calls and even has a camera! (for those dense readers, I’m referring to my iPhone).
• I already own an iPad Pro. Except my “pro” has a full physical keyboard, built-in camera, and can do everything a desktop PC can do. (again, for those still not catching on, I’m referring to my MacBook Pro).

Bottom Line: I’m proud (and $500 richer) that my logic didn’t succumb to the all-powerful Apple marketing machine this time. Now, if only Steve Jobs would tell me the new iPhone release date, I’ve got to get that request off work submitted.
