I guess I must be the only person with an iPad for whom it is now just going dusty in a cupboard.
I had an enthusiastic few weeks with it but after that it just seems to be sub-optimal for most of the use cases I have. I really dislike browsing the web on it, which is the main problem.
It's great for viewing photos but I just can't work with iTune's retarded methodology for putting them on there. It's nice for viewing videos but only at close range and then you have to hold it so it doesn't really work for me for movies. It is far too hard to type to be a practical device for email.
It's really interesting to watch how people's reactions to it change as they adapt to this "new" kind of device.

- amitto 16y agoThat sounds like a real waste of space in your cupboard. I feel compelled to take that iPad from you to free up some space :)
- abalashov 16y agoNo, you're not the only one with that experience. Most vexing complaint: too hard to type to be a practical device for -- well, anything.
- kentosi 16y agoOn a related note, I'm having a strong urge to buy the latest Sony Viao X notebook (netbook?). It looks awesome, it's thin and light as hell, fast (with an SSD harddisk), and from what I've read it even works well with Ubuntu. However, I just know that after a few weeks of using it the romance period will be over and it'll just be this "thing" sitting on my desk.
