Thank you all for your input on my query...I am still undecided, but now I have a lot more info and possible uses.......
But, the Walmart sale price on Blk Fri is the same as Best Buy has everyday for iPad2, so I really don't think I will put my life in jeopardy fighting frenzied people on that day!!!!!
As far as "listening to music" while sewing...I have a radio-yes I know that is ancient invention, and also a TV there, but as I am typing this I am realizing these things are plugged into an outlet and therefore are using eletricity....another point for iPad....
and we have GPS in vehicles........weather...who cares......
I guess I really want one because of the ability of accessing "books", both Kindle (which I have,not really fond of) and Nook.........that is what they tell me anyway.......I am not one who must be "electronically connected" at all times, so the ability to use as communication device is not high on my priority list. Just thought it might be good in my sewing cave and tutes, but then I guess I could bring down my laptop....which sits in kitchen on island and I use to do this in morning w/coffee or later in the day for a possible recipe for supper "for something different"......
Movies on Netflix....don't use now, so why later
TV......On Demand.....DVR recordings.....when I take a break from whatever I was doing that is what I do....
So you see, I am still teeter tottering about this possible purchase..........But thanks to all of you for your uses...maybe I SHOULD broaden my horizons.......
