I have the iphone 3G. I refuse to pay the price for those things so I wait until they are practically giving them away before I get a new one. I gave $49 for the one I have. The only thing that I don't like about it is that is only has 1 camera so skype or facetime is impossible. I just got an ipad and I really like it for just surfing the web sitting on the couch. I was fortunate enough to win it so it didn't cost me anything. I don't think I would have ever purchased one - between my 3G and laptop, I could do everything I wanted to do. Technology changes so quickly - as soon as you put out the big bucks, what you purchased is obsolete. I just refuse to drink the koolaide!
