My iPad is winging it's way from China to my hot little hands, expecting it here in Ontario on Friday.
Got rid of my old Mac tower, Apple monitor, keyboard, mouse etc.
Keeping my MacBook Pro, my AppleTV, Airport Extreme, Airport Express (used to port music to a DAC).

I got rid of my Kindle and a Netbook.

My laptop broke. So that is the reason I ordered an iPad. I will put my Kindle 1 on EBay.

I sold on eBay a Navagon Gps, a high end Denon Receiver and a big wall Fish sculputure Received enough to pay for the ipad some apps and take my lovely lady on a 3 day weekend to Gold coast

the reason i ask this question for i guess i have sparked a very stange thing with my circle of friends ..for now it seams that they are showing up with ipads also and just raveing about getting rid of all the extras that seam to need in there lifes ..

for me i got rid of the laptop and the mp3 player and the extra wieght of carrying around things need for the laptop ..

Sold my laptop (MacBook Pro).

Kept my iPod (latest model; 64Gb Touch) which is now permanently hooked up to the Hi-Fi to play my music and Pandora.

Ordered an iMac 27" quad - should be here Thursday. Once the iMac settles in, I will get rid of my Windows desktop.

I love the simplicity of the iPad. I am using LogMeIn to access my other computers when I need to run a computer based app.

Haven't gotten rid of anything, but use it in the morning first instead of the PC to check overseas markets and the dow futures as well as multiple email accounts and a few other things.

The fact that it is always on and can do this with a few swipes is huge. Also use my Palm Pre now more as a phone only.

I haven't actually gotten rid of anything yet. However I no longer use my Kindle, PSP, and DSi. My iPhone used to be used hours each day. Now it's only used for calls and texts.

My laptop, movie player (Archos 5), and Sony eReader. And my Droid is now used only for basic phone functions and to tether to the iPad for internet.

I am getting the idea (and my iPhone has been lonely too since the iPad) that the iPad may effect the smartphone market.... I wonder if Apple saw this coming......
