i would wait on an ipad, especially since the 3g version isn't available yet.  Honestly i don't care for apple products that much.  It realy depends on what you use it for.  I prefer pc's especially since i can upgrade the components easily and it's cheaper than apple stuff/.  I know people who like both.

I am considering a Macbook Pro..

Every now and then a Mac Vs Pc argument will crop up and I'll read the comments. A lot of Mac owners swear they'll never go back and I find that makes me think about buying one...

Do so, you won't regret it. I bought mine because i was tired of Microsoft's bullshit Windows, and i figured i couldn't be much worse...Glad i did.
Usually i'm not such a trend follower, but my MacBook is simply great.

Peace

 No wonder people jailbreak their phones. wtf Crapple?
 Suck my balls Mr jobs,  and guess what? i can multitask using my  iphone 3gs jailbreaked.
 And i don't need a data plan for an Ipad, i can tether.

 Apple will be previewing iPhone OS 4.0 to reporters and industry analysts in a special presentation tomorrow that Apple called "a sneak peek into the future of iPhone OS software." Most observers are fairly confident that the update will bring multitasking to the iPhone and iPad, a feature that many users have been waiting a long time for. However, given the hardware limitations of the iPhone - especially older models - some pundits are guessing that Apple will restrict multitasking to certain applications only.

According to industry professionals and alleged leaks from inside Apple, multitasking in unavailable for most apps because of the load it would put of the iPhone and because of security concerns. remember that the iPhone OS is built on the same Mach microkernel that lies at the heart of the desktop Mac OS X, so it already supports fully-preemptive multitasking. Apple limits multitasking capabilities to its own apps like the phone, Messages, Mail, iPod, Voice Memos or ones that it directly controls such as Nike+. The limitation is always explained by the need to manage scarce resources and prevent the installation malware on the iPhone.

Thus, Apple is unlikely to allow full-bore multitasking in iPhone 4.0. Aaron Vronko, the CEO of iPhone service shop Rapid Repair, told Computerworld that he thinks that Apple will decide which apps will be permitted to run in the background, a scheme he calls "intelligent multitasking." Giving Apple control over the apps that will be able to multitask makes sense, according to Vronko, "because it lets Apple control the user experience and performance," he said, in a reference to power and memory management. The iPad, like the iPhone 3GS and third generation iPod touch, is limited by its 256MB of RAM, and older iPhone OS devices have only 128MB.

 You can't beat Apple's touch screen.
 Plus after the jailbreak comes out the story will change.
