How much do you use your iPad?

iPad 1 owner, and use it daily.

I must admit when I first got it I'd made a huge mistake, and even considered returning it - So glad that I didn't now :)
 
use mine all the time, every day.

with the Wi-Fi from an iPhone, I assume it counts as a tethered pc? so you get ripped off by vodaphone? if you use vodaphone that is.
 
Mine gets used every day. If I want to check something online I'll use the iPad rather than the PC. 90% of my web browsing is done on the iPad.
 
Everyday; web browsing, reading books, showing potential clients photos, satnav in the car...its epic. You won't regret it.
 
Use it every day and my wife is glued to it while watching tv, her bejeweled score in action is 1.9 million >< my top is like 650k :( it really is the perfect couch potatoe device.
 
I use mine every day. Mail, surfing, as a 'pick up encyclopedia' (it's great to just pick up and check something in less time that it would take for the computer to get past the startup screen), I play a few games and use it as calendar.
 
I think this all makes us realise how spoilt we are. I have a Windows desktop atm for my gaming and daily 'Desktop' tasks that require a keyboard and mouse with a large screen, an iPhone 4S AND a Nokia Lumia 800 as my phones, a HP Touchpad that I have put Android on, and a netbook that I use for work.

But I still want an iPad 2 and I'm thinking about it for Christmas, even if the iPad 3 may be released around Easter. I can always give the iPad 2 to a relative and pick up the new one. The main reason for me at the moment is just simply iOS and the quality of apps, and I have a Sky Go account as well! I can just load up the app and start watching some movies or football rather than switching on my Desktop of Xbox and TV all the time.

I love my tablets; just wake up and unlock the screen to start surfing, Facebooking or emailing right away. Tempted to pop into the Apple store after work today to get a 16GB Black WiFi model :D

That's why I'm glad I live 2 hours from an Apple store - I'd have no money at all if I could browse after work.

I don't have an iPad, but I have used a friends for a couple of weeks. I found that I still used my laptop but for very quick tasks the iPad took over. Between the two my desktop barely got a look in, though.

Does make warranty claims a bit of a hassle, though - 4 hour round trip coming up to get a couple of cracks repaired. :(
 
I use my iPad all the time. It comes with me to work and I use it on my commute. It also acts as my notepad and Calendar, it really does make staying organised easy.
 
All the time. It will not replace my desktop, laptop or iPhone as it has a unique role in my view. Great to have when you need to quickly check email, browse the web etc while sat on the sofa rather than firing up your laptop. MS Office compatible software is available so you can even do the odd bit of work if you need to. Connected to a Dropbox account makes it even better as you can then view docs and edit/creat some from all your devices without having to transfer them from one to another. My biggest use though has to be for reading and annotating pdf docs as part of a degree that I'm doing. All in all, would not be without it but not about to sack my laptop etc.
