play ipad games (some of these are genuinely very good) it's just overall more convenient than a laptop and more practical than a smartphone when you want to have the web on the go or in bed i love looking up random things in the morning (e.g. e-mail, news, weather, etc.) on an ipad without getting up | ||

To be honest I ditched my cell phone because I don't like walking and talking, got a skype number so I can call through my ipad, and haven't looked back. It is amazing. | ||

Things it can do in a very practical manner: Reading Browsing web Movies Games Streams Like anything you used to do on your laptop besides starcraft or other big games, or writing an essay. | ||

TwitchTV I also use it at work. Wyse PocketCloud lets me remotely access any computer I install the desktop companion on, so I can do things from the office desktop while i'm helping a client with their computer, super useful. Can also access home computer from any wifi network. If you have any friends that use an iPhone you can text them from it. This and taking notes is surprisingly easy if you get one of the cases that props it up. | ||

Oh God reading those comments made me die a little inside. On topic, though, I'd use a tablet for: -taking notes via handwriting -reading books while commuting via bus -e-mail/social networks -quick on-the-fly sketches/compositions -entertainment on long plane rides Basically, it's about having some portable functionality. I don't want to carry around my textbooks, notebooks, laptop, etc. all the time, so I'd have a tablet for on-the-go, laptop for LAN parties and hotels, and desktop when I get back home. That being said, I haven't found any tablet that fulfills all of these requirements well enough for me to consider getting. Waiting on a Mirasol/touch/pen-enabled tablet :-P | ||

a tablet is just for ease of use, don't expect it to bring some type of extra convenience in your life or anything. it's just a toy. | ||

2) Sip a hot latte with a buddy in a Starbucks while talking about Occupy Wall Street and social injustices with the iPad just casually lying on the table with its cover mysteriously half-open and impress girls with your sophisticated image 3) Take notes from lectures on it and impress girls with it 4) Go to Mok Dong Studios and use the text scrolling app and impress girls/Tastosis with it I only have an old iPhone and since switched to Android because I like to experience different things with what limited upgrade opportunities I get. But surf the App Store (with a loaded credit/debit card) and I'm sure you'll find many good uses for it. BTW Stanza is/was (before Amazon acquired and it and semi-abandoned it) my favourite app, read so many Public Domain classics on it. | ||

I also use it for a lot of reading. The size of the ipad screen is PERFECT for comic books. It's not bad for pdfs either. They recently released iBooks2, which is good for textbooks. There's a ton of solid free ebooks out there. I also use it for stuff like finding directions (it has a great maps feature), browsing the web (get Terra, Safari blows), and stupid timewasting games like chess, reversi, etc. | ||

Jailbreak+VLC is such a waste of time and disk space, because most movies start in HD. You're better off just getting a free file converter that compresses video files into ipad format. | ||
