Poll: How do you use your iPad?

4 points by imcqueen 15y ago ↗ HN

Tried to submit a HN survey but I don't think I have enough karma...

I have an iPad and to be honest I don't think I use it for 10% of what it's capable of. What do you use your iPad for? Am I missing the boat on something?

I'll post the results upon completion so it's open to everyone.

There aren't nearly enough categories in that survey. I didn't see "musical instrument" or "control surface for robots" (both of which are on my list).

iPads are general purpose computing devices. Like all GPCD's nobody uses them for more than a tiny fraction of what they could be used for. Its that they happen to be able to do your 10% that counts.

You're not missing the boat on anything; my primary use for the iPad is as a coaster.
