Well, I never really used the iPad as a consumption device. Of course I loaded it with movies, e-books and pdf papers, but it gets old fast. I still buy 4 books a month and watch Netflix on the living room exclusively... =\ However it instantly became my go-to e-mail client at work, reminds me of appointments (integrates with Exchange), holds my to-do list, has my personal issue-tracking database (Bento), browses trough our github projects, syncs with Dropbox, allows me to connect to SQL Server, is on Skype all day long and I even did some (simple) presentations on Keynote for our meetings. I also use it for online banking when I'm not home and I have Amplitube and iRig to play guitar trough it on weekends. I also know some people who use it in college, my sister borrows mine sometimes when she's in town and her classmate also owns one. Granted, I'm a developer, not a manager, so those apps aren't critical to my work... but I LOVE having only two apps on my Windows Workstation: Firefox and Visual Studio. Talk about focus! Also, I work on a university, and we're in the process of buying tablets for the whole staff. Probably not iPads, idk. Of course, it's a weird use case, but well, it is possible...
