My 17 year old has to show me some of the neat trick on mine. Used the bar code app this week end while looking at TVs.

My very expensive wife got me an iPad for my birthday a few weeks ago.
It has totally changed my reading habits. I really enjoy reading the iPad as opposed to tiny print in magazines and newspapers. I'm reading a lot more... especially books. For years and years I've wanted to re-read Sidhartha (Herman Hesse) but never got to the library to find the book or buy it from Amazon. But it is FREE on the iPad from the Gutenberg Project.
I find it great for consuming data, not so great for creating data. But I'm getting used to the keyboard for email. I'll never be as fast on it as I am with my Apple bluetooth keyboard. (Yeah, there is some way to "pair" an iPad with a bluetooth but I've not tried it.
The other night I was watching a pro football game in the bedroom on 45 inch Samsung TV while also watching an episode of Gray's Anatomy on the iPad that I had missed. They have a zillion minutes of commercials on pro night games (the one with Al Michaels and Chris Collingsworth) so I would be starting and stopping my iPad watching Gray's during the football ads.
I also like the "Dragon" app where I can dictate my email into the iPad.
The Flipboard app is terrific for finding interesting business and investment content. I also like the NY Times app.
I use both iBook and Stanza for reading books and PDFs... neither are all that good... but I undersand there is a better reader out there for a few bucks... not sure what it is.
I also find it a bit easier to show PDF illustrations or PDF slide shows to clients when I'm face to face at their office or at their kitchen table.
I really LIKE my iPad. I can't say I NEED it, but for me it is a useful piece of technology.
YMMV

Can't say enought about the Dragon app! I dictate all of my emails and it's scary how accurate it is.

I also think that is one of the best apps ever.
Oh my gosh we have a barcode app??! I didn't even know that!
Nor do I even know what to use it for.
