A Fool & His Money....
A fool and his money... spends it on the things he wants?
To those who purchase ipads.... Do you upgrade to a new generation every time one comes out? Isn't there software releases that make the older models perform just as good?
Apple sure know how to make their cash from the fan boys.
I upgrade every year on the dot. That's firstly because I ought to have latest for work purposes (overseeing app design), and secondly because I am obsessed with technology and Apple fanboy in general. Even if I didn't need to for work, I probably still would.
Each time I upgrade I'd only 'lose' about 40% of its value, and that's by selling to a recycling service like O2 Recycle. I could probably get a better deal on eBay, but this is less hassle, I don't have to mind too much about the condition (O2 Recycle doesn't care about scratches or markings) and I get to keep a spare charger.
On a £580 iPad, it essentially costs me £20 a month to own the 'latest' iPad at the time, which is a price worth paying to 'have the latest' to me (setting aside the requirement to have the latest for work purposes).
For me it is £580 for an electronic reader (email, Flipboard and The Times) first and coffee-table computer second. And it's worth every penny
