• iPhones: Apple sold 18.65 billion iPhones in the March quarter, up 113 percent a year ago. Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster was expecting 16.2 million and the consensus view called for 16.6 million units.

Oh my! That's like 2 or 3 for every person in the world.... O_O

Probably a typo, meant to say 18.65 million.

 

Anyways, I am tempted to pick up an iPad at some point. My laptop is crapping out and I need a new device for browsing and the iPad not only will allow me to browse but it also has a great gaming lineup.

Would be great since I already have an Android device as my phone.

just something to consider -- quite a bit of the web doesn't work so well on IOs.  vgc for instance is painfully slow.  

I want it more for the gaming.

Also, VGC is slow on just about everything.

well true to that last part but it is even slower.  but if you want it you want it ... personally i kind of want one but it is the inconsist browser that is primarily keeping me from buying.

I tend to browse most on my laptop and whether I get an iPad or not I am sure I will still keep my laptop around. It is required in order for me to Jailbreak/Root my devices and/or install 3rd party apps on my phone like Gameloft titles since AT&T decided to block the installation of 3rd party apps.

It is wasn't for Sideloading Wonder Machine I wouldn't have been able to play Eternal Legacy and I have been dying for a proper JRPG on my phone and to be honest they actually work quite well with the touch controls.
