I admit to a feeling of hopelessness discussing this well-worn topic on HN, but in my case I use my own iPad for reading books, annotating PDFs, taking notes, writing mails, watching videos, drawing, surfing the web, watching sport, listening to music, lightweight coding, using as an extra screen and probably other things I’ve forgotten. The kids have used it to shoot and edit stop-motion movies, and ‘compose’ music. As I said, at least one person I know keeps three people (including herself) in a home and fed, in one of the world’s most expensive cities. But apparently this is only what “Apple allow us to do”.
