[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1020786"] I've discussed these ideas in more detail in other threads, but yes I have an iPhone and yes I'll soon have an iPad. The iPad, for me personally, will serve three important functions: 1. It will free me from having to sit at my workdesk all the time. I like to enjoy watching TV on the couch (for example) and having something large enough to easily read would allow me to check my email while the commercials are on (etc). I would probably also use it for reading before I go to bed, and similar uses. The iPhone's screen is a little small for such "relaxed" uses, at least to these middle-aged eyes. 2. It frees me from having to take a laptop with me every time I'm travelling. The iPhone is very useful in these situations too, but the iPad allows me to do more (an aspect that will continue to grow as time goes on). I just don't need to bring "a whole computer" with me every time I leave the house, but I often find myself doing that anyway. Its kind of bulky to lug everywhere, especially if you're on foot. The iPad fits easily in a knapsack or briefcase or satchel (et al) which means the laptop can stay home much more often than it does. 3. I give a lot of presentations, so I expect to use the iPad to hook up to a projector and run (as well as create) my slideshows using iWork. FAR less bulky than a laptop (and remember I'm already bringing a projector, so any less weight = good!). I could think of a LOT more ways in which the iPad will be of service to me either immediately or in the future, but that's enough for now. [/QUOTE]
