iMac, iPad or iPod touch

The iPad 64gb
The iPod Touch 64gb
Or the entry level iMac?

I'm getting one of those three... help me choose!

Re: iMac, iPad or iPod touch

iPad = iTouch on steroids.

I'd say get an tablet loaded with Android, but that wasn't one of my choices.

Re: iMac, iPad or iPod touch

Don't compare iPads/iPods to iMacs, they are just different things.  It is like apples/oranges to steak  tongue
apples/oranges to steak
iPads/iPods to iMacs
See the difference  tongue
If you want a tablet, get a iPad, but if you want a real computer, def. get a iMac

Re: iMac, iPad or iPod touch

If you want to do real gaming or programming, iMac.

If not, iPad or iPhone.

iPad, iPod, or PC. iMacs are overpriced, look fancy, and fail at software specs. Get an alienware  tongue

Re: iMac, iPad or iPod touch

If you plan on getting the devicefor gaming/apps, get an iPad. If you really just want to listen to music, it'd be better to get an iPod Touch. You can listen to music on the iPad, but then you havto carry it around.

All in all, I'm happy with my iPad 64gb 1st gen, but then again, I have over a thousand apps.

There are probably more games for iPad/iPod Touch than Mac, to be honest. XD

I suppose it would depend on your needs. If you already have a decent PC, there aren't that many reasons to get a Mac. A tablet comes down to personal preference. Some people may find them useful, but others may not. Personally, I'd get the iPod Touch. I have a 2nd generation and I always have it with me, as it's incredibly useful for music, light web browsing, checking up on news, or just playing a game to keep myself busy.

I know that!!! But my parents seem determined to get me an iMac  sad

I know I shouldn't be comparing them... but I think I'll get either the iMac or the iTouch, the iPad seems to have a limited use  tongue

Actually, I was thinking more of iMac or iTouch, but then when I think about it, the iPad seems enticing as well!  tongue

Re: iMac, iPad or iPod touch

Don't get an iMac. For the same price, you could get a very good windows desktop or laptop.

They'll only let you get a Mac?... but even the baseline iMac costs far more than even a decent gaming PC. Why would they make you get a computer that's expensive? Are they Apple fans or something?

Because Macs emit less bad stuff and becuase it doesn't get viruses...

That's more important to them than price...

"emit less bad stuff"
What exactly does this mean?
