Thinking i might invest in one of these if the price drops. Been looing at iPad for weeks now, and I do really want one. Just the price keeps putting me off.

There is a review on Youtube and the Xoom just pips the iPad2 in some areas. Obviously still concerned if I do get one, I won't like it.

I have decided to rate my tech purchases before buying

TECHNOLOGY + PRICE + NEED or WANT = Need? yes go out and buy the thing, Want? no way stay put do not buy - you will regret it.
 
I don't' think I've ever invested in things for me I need lol, I want it because its a gadget and a toy ;)

EDIT: Just watched another review, there are seriously no more than 40 tablet apps for Android??
