I have a MacBook Pro and an iPhone 4. My company provided me with an iPad 2 and I found that I didn't really use it all that much. My main issue with it was that it was really just a big-screened iPhone minus the ubiquitous connectivity (I didn't want to pay for the 3G when I was already paying for data on my iPhone). About the only the only function I found I was lacking elsewhere was the ability to read some of my iPad enhanced magazine subscriptions, but I don't mind being limited to the print versions of those. YMMV, of course, but I just figured I'd share my experience.

Keep drinks and other liquids away from your expensive electronics!
