I bought an iPod touch for one of my kids and just got an iPad 2 for the others. My main purpose is so I can video chat with them when I'm on the road. That is worth way more than $2k to me.

If I wanted to cut back on stuff I didn't need I would stop getting coffee on the way to work and make my own when I get there.

What do you use on your end of the conversation?

Absolutely. The flip side of that is when my associates contact me at all hours to discuss a technical problem. No Mr. Project Leader we do not need to video conference from my dang hotel room at 2:00 in the morning! ... yes i know it is only 4:00 PM at the office....
