ReplyDeletei want white but black would be better watching movies in the dark
hi kendan! I think im going with the white. it has that clean ipod look :-D u seem torn! have you decided?
ReplyDeleteJust saw you on CNN and looked you up- I'm in need of a good "why should I get an iPad?" comparison to come out, looking closely at the actual reasons people get tabs and including the popular rooted Nook I'm copying files to try right now. I just wonder, what am I missing out on? What does an iPad do, that I can't do, unless I get an iPad? Feel up to the task?
