More than 10 Reasons to buy an iPad - Im sure there are even more

1. I can use it to check and write my emails with out the need for WiFi
2. Its smaller and lighter and easier to hold than a laptop or net book
3. Its a brilliant device for ebooks and does not tie you in to a vendor for them.
4. Its a good conversation starter.
5. It does exactly what I need without the weight of a laptop and separate ereader.
6. Has brilliant battery life compared with other tablets and laptops
7. Its useful as well as a fashion statement (what laptop can claim that)
8. It is pretty much Virus Immune, unless jail broken
9. Software Apps start from as little as 59p or 99 cents some are free.
10. If an app crashes, it doesnt crash the whole system (one up on linux and windows)
11. It doesn't allow that outdated, resource hungry, bug riddled, massive security flaw called flash!
12. Its ideal for me to sit and write my stories, anywhere as its more portable than a laptop.
13. Its got one of the best user interfaces going for the phone and tablet format, so much so that others have tried to replicate the interface.

If I think of any more I will edit this post and add them as I think of some more. Incidentally these are my thoughts, not some copied from a newspaper article, like the OP's
