Should you buy an IPad?

With reading this article, it is hard for me to say whether you should buy it now or wait. In one aspect, I would say to wait to buy an IPad...unless of course you want to just say you have one. This article I believe states the basics of what technology is all about. The question is, who will be the first to come out with (enter application here). Then everyone else spends the rest of the year trying to out-do the first release.
The IPad, although cool and something different, you can't view flash, it still has the issues that the IPhone has with only being able to do one thing at a time, and it is expensive. But, its the first out there, so people will wait in line and buy it. But if you choose to wait on buying the IPad, you will be able to have a selection of different tablets, that will each have their own special 'advantages' over each other. Whether it be price, the programs it can run, how many programs it can run at once, contracts that might need to be signed, the list can be endless.
For a technology company to say that it will not compete with another technology release, is stupid. You wouldn't be in business very long as a technology company if you didn't get anything to the public that competed with other technology companies.
Otherwise, if you really want to buy the IPad now, and you know what the restrictions are on it, the price, and have done the research on what is possibly coming out within the next few months. And you still want the IPad, I say go for it. They might come out with upgrades in the future that you can download, who knows. Technology is something that is almost impossible to stay up-to-date with, there is always something bigger and better out there.
