He's got an iPad2 he gets to use from work and never uses it, says he can't really justify it, doesn't see the point, etc. But the moment I have a tablet, he has to play with it as well as tell me what I should've got instead.

It's the classic case of not wanting it until he sees someone else with it. I guess my fiance is 4?
Drove him nuts when I locked the tablet and wouldn't tell him the password.
He's also the one who swore up and down I should get this Zenithink tablet that gets terrible reviews, but it was "a deal" that all these other dealsters were going nuts over on a deals forum.
