Wozniak carries two iPhones to fix battery, background processing issues

Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple (with Steve Jobs), can afford anything. Thus, he's not afraid to be an early adopter, and not afraid to buy multiples of anything. Thus, as he said, he's getting the iPad, and two of them.

He's getting two: one of the wi-fi only models, which ship this Saturday, and one of the 3G models, which ship later in April (exact date still unannounced). And as he said, he already has a use case for the iPad:

I'm out here on the road with four cell phones and two GPS devices, trying to look at maps, and I wish I had an iPad with me now.

Wozniak's four phones are two iPhones, a Nexus One (Android), a Droid (Android), plus a Garmin and TomTom (both GPS). He also has his Prius' navigation system.

Wozniak has previously said he loves the Nexus One, so the fact that he's carrying that device is no surprise.

As far as why he has two iPhones, it's because of the battery life issues on the iPhone, as well as the lack of multitasking. It's a rather expensive way to correct those issues, but with a multimillionaire, it's not an issue. There is another way to fix the background processing issue: jailbreak.

Additionally, Wozniak said he would wait in line for his iPad, starting Friday night. It's unclear why he didn't simply have it shipped. It's also not clear if he would attempt to "cut," as he did when the original iPhone came out. After all, who will stop the Woz?
