Who else thinks the Wifi-only version could be discontinued within 12 months?

So you're arguing that buying a crap product would be more eco-friendly? How so? A low-quality product has a higher chance of breaking and needing to be replaced with a new one, using up more resources. Plus the manufacturers of non-luxury devices probably doesn't have environmentalism in mind.

Uh no, he's arguing that not buying a product at all is more eco-friendly.

I'm arguing that buying no products and being content with what you already have is more eco-friendly. Look at the natives in south America. They don't have computers and are perfectly happy and eco-friendly. We, however, argue about our new shiny luxury products being eco-friendly.

It's not a jab at you. It's a jab at our consumption lifestyle. I'm typing this on a first gen white macbook. I haven't upgraded since many years ago because I think that's the best way to spend my money and better way to be eco-friendly. I still drive a '95 Honda that gets better gas mileage than most new cars.

Yes, ok I see. And I that logic can hardly be argued with. I have a Mac already. I'm going to use the iPad as a digital sketchbook, and my Mac can't do that, but obviously to make art I could just go buy a sketchpad. Ok sorry, I'm done hijacking this thread now.

Anyway back on topic...

I forgot the other advantage to the 3G is the GPS.
