Uhhh... yeah. What he said.

My wife has an iPad. She also has an iPhone. She also has an iPod. She also has a Touch. She also has an iMac. She also has a Kindle. It seems to me that, with the exception of the iMac, all of these things have overlapping functionality. What is an iPad other than a super-sized Touch. What does an iPod do that a Touch doesn't do? What does Touch do that an iPhone doesn't do? What does a Kindle do that an iPad doesn't do?

It is preposterous watching her pack for a trip. Her electronics checklist now runs to 22 separate items! On her last trip, she paid nearly $200 in overweight baggage charges. Aaaarrrgggh!

OK, [/rant]. smile
