I think the iPad is a luxury. May be a luxary that I desire, but I am more interested in upgrading our iPhones this year before purchasing one. Since I can only afford so much at one time, I may be able to hold out for v2.

If I were to purchase an iPad, I would probably go with wifi only. I have an iPhone and most places I would use this i would have wifi.

Possible use cases for me:

1. With keyboard, good note taking device for meetings, conferences, etc. Think netbook type device. I do all of my notes electronic and with Evernote so I think it fits well for this use.

Okay, I finally got around to listing the iPhone apps I use a lot on iusethis.com. A few aren't on the site and I didn't have time to add them as new apps.

Check out my list here: http://iphone.iusethis.com/user/shrop

Feel free to comment on apps that you like too.

I feel like one of the lucky US iTunes users who was able to quickly purchase the application NetShare while it was available in iTunes for a few hours two weeks ago. NetShare allows you to surf the web on a wireless computer/laptop using your iPhone's Internet connection.

Wow one million phones! Read about it via the link below:

Other thoughts about my 3G iPhone adventures since Friday:

• Got in line around 6:40 am Friday for the 3G iPhone purchase. Walked out the door with a working 3G iPhone around 10:30am and a non activated 1st gen iPhone for my Wife. Wasn't able to activate her phone at home till around 4pm due to the iTunes activation issues. I then restored her iPhone to the official 2.0 firmware without restoring data so she had a fresh phone to start. She loves it BTW!
