Background: I have an iPhone 3GS and a Mac Pro.
Currently I use my iPhone for almost all of my general curfing needs (internet, Twitter, email, etc.). I am all set to purchase an iPad (larger screen than iPhone, ereader, and I have no need for a laptop) but am going to wait until the next generation which should be in 1Q11. I will purchase the largest memory size they offer and get the 3G version.
I live in an area that has big problems in cell phone reception (rural). I’ve read that Apple is expanding to include Verizon. I don’t mind the blackouts, but I would like a navigational system. (I am completely new at this)
