    Can I justify it????

    Already got a Mac, which I genuinely use, daily for work purposes rather than a customer provided laptop (they provide a VM).

    Can I justify buying a company iPad as well???I'm a PM/BA

    Of course you can! Get a 3G one - then you have access to your urgent work-related emails even when there's no wifi/wired network.

    Angry Birds Space is brilliant on iPad, BTW

      Of course you can't - you're a disgrace to geekdom, selling out to the evil Apple empire.

      Oh, hang on. You're a consumer victim BA/PM. As you were. Just makes sure you get one that fits the corporate colour scheme.
      Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

          And don't forget to put it on credit card, get some airmiles and then stooze it for 12 months.

            Surely you should be telling us.

            I got mine through a cashback site, only 2% or so but it's another eight quid for nowt. AtW will probably explain why this was stupid soon.

              iPad for taking notes is utter bollox in my opinion but if you believe you can justify it and have a bit of pocket change to pay back the tax difference when you get caught then it is up to you.

              As people often say. It is perfectly acceptable to claim if you don't get caught. Who would know.

                You want to. But you don't have the balls, lest Hector turn up and find your porn stash.

                    You can buy as many i-pads as you like, in as many different colours as you like, you just can't claim the cost as an expense
