I owned an iPad and an iPad Retina, and I can also attest to a huge jump in use between those versions. The first iPad was excellent, but it was just a little to slow, little too heavy, and little too big. Those issues added up to a product that was fun to use, but less so than a laptop. Truth be told, I think the iPad still suffers from a size/weight issue. If the iPad mini ever becomes a think, I expect my usage of it will change drastically
