THIS. My original iPad (1st gen) is just over 4 years old, but it might as well be a doorstop for all the use I get out of it. It can’t run the newer iOS or apps, so it mostly just sits on a shelf looking forlorn. It’ll probably make a decent softbox though. // half

If my boss hadn’t gotten me the new iPad Mini last year I prolly would’ve ended up with a Google Nexus. Much as I love my iPads, I can’t afford to burn $700-$800 every 2-3 years. The iPod Touch is a little less painful, but still…

I admit to having a techie-toy addiction. The original iPad still works nicely for watching movies in the trailer, on the rare occasion we do that. The newer one (with Retina display - made reading PDF articles a lot easier) is still the more general use one.

The Nexus 7 suffers a little because my new Android phone is cooler and faster (with a better screen) but may get pulled out soon for more development work. It also has a stupid major battery draining bug that means that even without use it rarely lasts a full day. Still will be fine for doing development work at the desk for tablets.
