Just goes to show you
Even in a recession, people have more money than brains.
I have also started seeing a lot of Pad devices around here. I still have trouble seeing a purpose to lugging them around everywhere. Maybe if they had one that folds up into your pocket, but otherwise, I see them all over in restaurants, people sit them on the table (they are usually turned off as well, I guess staring at your pad at the dinner table is considered rude).
I saw one person at starbucks actually using one, playing games.
They are a bit cheaper now though, with the shared data plans.
I've yet to see a tablet I'd actually want... Either light or hard core computing, if I am expecting to do either, I bring my laptop with me. it too is something I can't just stuff in my pocket all the time and use it for incidental use.
