To iPad or not to iPad?

Here I am riding the train and writing this on my iPhone. It works but it’s not very fast. But how much easier would it be on an iPad?

I do believe that I would spend less time hitting the backspace button because the virtual keyboard is larger. I’m severely doubt that I would be able to type with both hands.

At my desk is a different story. I would have access to a dock and keyboard. When I say desk I mean my desk at work. At home doesn’t make sense since I would be at my iMac. But at work it’s attractive because I would be able to use Things a little more productively.

The price to do this is still very high. It would be around $800 for the 16gb / 3G iPad with a keyboard dock and case plus $30 per month. That means year one would be $1,160 and year two and on would be $360. That’s a lot of money for a convenience.

If I stuck with the WiFi model it would around $650 in year one and $0 for year two and on. That seems a lot more reasonable.
