Why not iPad, I would like to chose iPad, as I can use it everywhere and evertime, though it is bigger than ipod.
I'd sort of go with both. A pad and a notebook. They're both useful for different reasons. I've got an el-cheapo Android pad. If it gets scratched or sat on it's a hundred bucks to replace. The app store is fantastic, and for me it does more than an iPad would for a fraction of the price. I can do about 8 upgrades for the price of an iPad. And my Andriod doesn't insist that I install iTunes, which is the main reason I won't use an i-anything.
i prefer notebook first and then ipad because notebook is so convenient to work even on the go (most of the times) but ipad is not like that, we can just complete some basic things/works but not like how we can do with a notebook.
i would like to choose ipad. Actually i like the touch screen gadgets very much than the normal keypad's. Even it is smaller than the notebook and we can handle it easily.
