The iPad doesn’t need to do everything ⇾

Marco gives a great overview of his usage of the iPad has played out in his life.

  • I’ll play games on it.
  • I’ll check email on it, but not respond much, because that requires a lot of typing.
  • I’ll check RSS and Twitter on it, but not exclusively.
  • I’ll read for short periods on it before my hands get tired of holding it.

His description closely mirrors my own findings, as the iPad has been mostly used as a device to use while away from my computer, but still in my home. For around the house, it has completely replaced my iPhone usage.

I would only add one more item to the list above. I’ve used the iPad to watch movies as well — I’m currently catching up on Lost season 4. My iPad has been a pleasant way to do so.
