Mixture - The main reason I wanted one was for a birthday present. However this particular present is now settled in Jordan and working well as I type. It was all about timing in this instance.
Yes you're right perhaps I should wait for the all the hype to die down before purchasing a new product, which I normally do. Again the Daily Mail highlighted people buying ipads and selling them on for grossly inflated prices and I saw one for sale on fleebay at £100 above the recommended price. No doubt the scammers will be working in overdrive to get their grubby paws on one.
