Should I Keep My StupidPhone and Get a Tablet, or Buy a SmartPhone and Keep My Laptop?


Okay so, how many personal tech devices does one person need? The reason I ask, is because the other day I saw someone playing on their iPhone IV, and then they pulled out an iPad tablet and they were surfing the news. It seems to me they spent entirely too much money, and an abundance of time loading all those special apps from the Apple Store. Since they were a techie, and very much into personal tech, I engaged them in a conversation, but I soon realized they were so busy multitasking between devices, that I wondered if they even heard a word I said.

We got to talking and this same individual owns an Apple laptop computer as well. And they said they wanted to stick with Apple so that all their devices would sync up correctly, and they could take music off of their iPod, and put it onto their iPhone and iPad. I thought to myself that's just great, and if Apple ever comes out with an iCar, they will probably buy one of those too. Nevertheless, I got to thinking that I kind of like my StupidPhone, and that I don't really need a Smartphone, and I am waiting until the technology gets better to buy a tablet computer, and I probably won't be buying an Apple anything.

It is not that I don't think that currently be Apple has superior futures, it's just that every time Apple comes out with something, the marketplace responds with better technology, better components, and a better price tag too. The question is; should I keep my stupid-phone and get a tablet, or should I buy a smart phone and keep my laptop? Now, I'm not the only one making such choices, because the other day I met a grandma that had a Kindle, as her e-book reader, and she was considering buying an iPhone, but not an iPad because she already had her Kindle.

It seems that Intel is going to make a chip for a notebook which is very robust, that will also be able to be run on the next generation of tablets. I am positive if I wait a few more generations for the iPad VII or VIII, that I can get holographic video 3-D conferencing features, and maybe I should just wait and let the technology leapfrog itself until I can have exactly what I want at the price that I believe is fair. In any case I hope you will please consider all this and think on it.
