Boooo Peck, don't you know that Apple is the devil incarnate? They'll never get a penny of my money, I'm not a 10 year old girl so Apple doesn't do it for me, my daughter loves it however.
Ok maybe I'm just clueless, but I have an iPhone and a laptop...what benifit would a tablet have over these devices?
I ask because the company I work for is pushing us to get ipads (that they will reimburse 1/2 the cost of, as long as you send it to the IT dept fo rour programming) when I have the other two items already...company issued.

Not in my house they aren't. I used to have a Dell that was about as counterintuitive as you could imagine (when it worked, that is). Then I got a mac and haven't looked back since. In our house we now have 3 macs and 4 ipads and wouldn't have anything else.. Everyone else is playing catch-up in my view, and they have a long way to go.
lol!

Macs are great. Been using them since the '80s (I am an Apple Tech too).
I've used many computer platforms out there, from clustered microsoft servers to unix boxes, but Macs are just more fun to use and every bit as powerful as a PC or Linux box.
They cost more upfront, but worth every penny for their ease of use, reliability and lack of virus attacks, etc.
I work in IT - got my first PC in college (a 386, for those who remember...) and have been upgrading ever since. I'm on my second smartphone, which is also my 6th cell phone over all (I think - and not counting the Windows phone my new job supplied me with). I just converted my netbook to a Ubuntu box, and I'm itching to get a new desktop at home. Not an Apple fan (they work okay, but when they break, they REALLY break), but I do find that I prefer the iPhone to the Android that I had previously. Still nostalgic about my old Palm PDAs - they were remarkably versatile and reliable, and had a lot of great software that still hasn't been matched on the current platforms (although Pimlico is still working on a few things...).
Oddly enough, I was a history major in college after deciding against going into computer science. :crazy:
