ok guys i need some input. Right now I'm trying to justify buying a few multi hundred dollar items. here are my options
1. a Laptop. Nothing special I mainly would get it for work so I dont have to tie up the computers and walk across the whole shop when I need to get onto Gm service information (the site we use to look up Bulletins, recalls, and Diagnostic code definitions). and i would obviously load armada 2 on it so i can play during the day lol. and it woudl double as an MP3 player.
2 a New Cell phone. My current phone works fine, i dont really need a new one, but i've had it for over 2 years. I also dont know if Nextel is getting shut down at the end of the year, which has been a rumor circulating around for months. I dont really wanna go spend 300$ on a phone just to find out that im gonna have to go buy ANOTHER one when they switch to the Sprint network (or if they do). So i think i should do some more research on this one before it becomes a viable option.
3. an Ipod (more then likely the Ipod Touch [the Iphone without the phone]). You all know what these are and how much they ususally cost. I thinks its a cool gadget, nice to have, but at the same time I can't see I really have a use for it. I have a cd player in both of my cars. and I have a Cd burner, so I can make tons of different cd's. I don't really walk anywhere, or take a train or the bus so I wouldnt need it for that. But at the same time I think it would be cool to have accsess to all my music when ever I want it in the car. now if i did get the Ipod touch it also has Wifi capability. Which is a neat feature, but once again I dont think I would find my self using it very often.
I'd like to see what you guys and girls think. Thanks in advance.
