Re: Evo or iPad?

I have, and like them both. I bought the iPad a week before the Evo came out, because I accidentally smashed my HTC Diamond against the wall, and was in dire need of something to play with until I could get my Evo.

I bought the 16gb wifi-only version. I really enjoy it. Makes laying in bed and reading or surfing whatever catches my whim vastly easier than bringing out the laptop, or walking to the office to use my desktop. Plus it nice for ebook reading, great for when your sitting on the throne (made it to where I no long have the urge to mount a TV in the bathroom) and it's nice that I no longer leave books in there to read.

But I use my iPad and Evo for completely different uses. The iPad stays at home, and I never leave home without my Evo. There's nothing that the iPad can do that my Evo cannot, though if for just general time-kill-ery I prefer the iPad.

I definitely say for house-hold use, I prefer the iPad for most things, but if your funds allow, get them both. If you just need a phone, and want one that can do everything, get the Evo.

Though it's very nice for those business trips when I have to stay in a hotel, it's supremely awesome to be able to setup the wifi-tethering on the Evo, and use my iPad for other purposes. So much more so when I'm in a city that has 4G (as my home city of San Antonio does. And it's nice that Texas has the most 4G cities).
