I couldn't take it and I felt like I was going to buy on a whim and regret my choice then I'd be out hundreds of dollars for something I wasn't completely happy about. So I let my lust for a DSLR go.
Instead, I opted for choice number 2: An iPad. Yes. An oversized iPhone. Shut up, haters. I love it. It'll be perfect entertainment for Kaleo and me on our upcoming trip to the Motherland.
"oh but you should have waited for the new iPad." you say. I couldn't. The unveiling of iPad 2 is on 3/2. We leave 3/9. Who knows when it'll be available.
I bought my iPad from a seller in Craigslist. I hounded the guy via email late last night and told him that I could buy it from him on Saturday (yesterday? Today?)
Shon and I met the seller and made the exchange of good and cash. The price was very right. Better than the actual retail price of $500+ tax.
Upon inspection, we noticed a few specks of dust under the screen. We haggled for a few bucks below seller's asking price which he agreed to. Informing us that the warranty was still good, we immediately took the iPad to the Apple Store. We were provided with a brand spankin' new iPad. FTMFW!!!
Whilst my lust for a DSLR is on hold, I'm reveling in my recent purchase. Hello iPad. I Di.
Yey!!!! iPad. iDi.
