We hardly ever use our iPad's anymore - kids use the newest one (old one is unusable except for Netflix) to stream YouTube and use Facetime (gaming chat) and not much else. Bought them Kindles last year, can't remember the last time they last used them. I started using one as an eBook reader which given their lack of power, is basically all they're good for. Wife has one of those jumbo iPhones so she doesn't require a larger device. I expected the iPad to revolutionize computing, and interfaces - unfortunately it ended up being a "second-class" device.

I use mine like crazy, but it's true our kids use their phones more than the tablets. I think the numbers don't bear out the surface analysis here though. See my other comment, but basically the story for tablets generally is not the same as the story for Apple. High powered pro iPads with advanced features continue to do well, and those can't all be going to new users that don't realise how little they will end up using them. I went from a 6.5" iPhone to a 5.5" because it's much handier and an iPad is a better larger format device. Larger phones have killed the Mini though.
