the main reason is mobile.. are you seriously telling me you are carrying that ipad with you everywhere. Shopping, going out to eat, driving in the car.. the iphone mobile web, maps, email is awesome. I won't be upgrading because I'm getting a google phone.

I won't be carrying it everywhere but that's not really the point. The times that I don't need/want an ipad such as driving, walking about, going out with friends is what the current iPhone/nexus one/etc are more than sufficient for.

It's all of these other things these phones can do that I no longer care for. I don't really care about the iPhone vs Android anymore because my phone has become a lot less important to me. Basic apps, good web browser and being able to make phone calls are all I really need now. An ipad in my messenger bag can take of anything more demanding in a heck of a lot more enjoyable fashion.

I don't see much point of upgrading if you own 3GS. But is worthwhile consideration if you own 3G or older to take advantage of multitasking. Unless you must have 720p hd video and video chat.
