Hello GS'ers,

I have a random question for everyone, I've got a chance to either by a 27" iMac for $350 (Brand New), or a 1st generation iPad 3g 16gb for $330. Which would you guys buy? I'm leaning towards the iMac, but I don't have an iPad to use for Development right now. I would like to start building for the iPads though. Any insight would be great, thanks everyone.

    if the imac is really at 350$, buy it , then sell it, so then you could buy both an ipad and a macbook or a 21.5 inch imac

    Yeah the iMacs $350, I work at a computer store and they're on clearance right now. I've got a macbook, and no ipad or imac is all. Thanks guys.

    Haha, can you share the name of your store? And is this a clearance price for employees only?

    Seriously, get the iMac. If you want an iPad, get the new one, it's a big improvement over the first generation.

    It is interesting to think about how things have changed. Remember about what a 19" CTR monitor cost just 10 years ago? Now here is an excellent computer with one of the best high resolutions large screens built in for only $350. It's really amazing.

    Is it a recent generation iMac? That's insane.
