Ok so I am at about 400$ right now. From here until the end of school I might get a couple hundred bucks. My birthday is in the summer. I am wanting the adobe cs6 programs that are hopefully coming out this summer. I am wanting the iphone 5 SO BAD because I am 14 and teens use their phones ALL the time. and I can take that to school. and I want the Ipad 2. because its a new experience and a new platform to develop for AND its like out now. So I am not adding a poll because I want some of you to (please) convince me a bit on why which is better.
thanks a bunch!

The iPhone is going to run you an extra $70 or so every month, so think of it as maybe a $2,000 cost instead of $200 and that might affect your decision somewhat. Granted, it's a phone and teens like their phones.
The iPad is a great device that just got even better. You'd be very happy with it, and it's a one time investment that'll run you far less than the phone.
The CS6 software is a tool you'll use all the time and which you are already skilled at using. However, you have a version of the software already, so NOT having CS6 isn't going to handicap you like not having an iOS device would. You'll still be able to create without the latest version.
Not sure I said anything that'll solidify your decision one way or another, but maybe it'll give you some things that will help in your decision. Good luck!

Money making - get the ipad and expand your apps onto another device.
Self Learning - Get the CS6 apps to advance your skills and knowledge
Social - get the iphone to do continually connected 14 year old social media things
Question is which of these is more important to you.

Also, Apple just lowered the price on the original iPad to 399$ or 349$ refurbished. You can probably get them way cheaper on eBay or Craig's list too.
That will get you an iPad, plus you'll have a few hundred bucks towards something else!

Perhaps you will make enough money with your apps so you can get it al and a car when you are old enough

STORM SAYS STEVE'S IPAD 2 IS AWESOME LOL but seriously, if you buy iphone5, you will have to pay fee every month
and cs6 is not a huge different to cs5(if you have one)
so my opinion: ipad2 then cs6 then iphone5
It might actually help any future job if you are fully learned up on the latest software...
But if your thinking of only ever working for yourself as an app developer get the ipad...(I should probably do the same)..
1- I am 14. Sooo that means when you tell your friends you got an ipad, you dont want to say the old one
2- I would use it MORE as a toy because I like all of the new features coming and the garageband looks beast.
3- I am still working on my first game. So I am not THAT big on developing yet
4- In a couple years I don't want to have the old model because it will be like the 2g to the iphone 4. I don't want that. The question is, where should I (as a teen) put my money towards. lol sorry.

iPad MAY get stolen at school, it's just harder to steal because of the size of it.
CS6 is good, but only if you are artistically talented and know how to use it.
I'd go with the iPad because then you can test/make games for the iPad to generate revenue to buy the CS6 and/or an iPhone 5.
