I keep coming up with reasons that I don’t want an iPad. The story typically revolves around a closed system, no multitasking, high connectivity rates, etc. Here’s what I think is the real reason. I am tired of being the early adopter. I bought a Palm VII for portable internet connectivity in the 1999/2000 era. I bought the first color iPod that did music AND pictures. I bought a brick of a Windows laptop that was a tablet so I could draw with a stylus instead of a curser. Eventually, cooler gadgets came out, and I was stuck with the prototypes. I will somehow show patience with this one, so I don’t have the early adopter’s remorse.
