IPad

[SuzySunshine]

DH bought a new Air to take to work which means I get his iPad which was supposed to be for work but never used it. What do you do with your iPad? Is it really just a big iPhone without the phone part?

I use it to surf the internet mostly (news, Facebook, iMSN, Pinterest, etc)...I almost never use an actual computer for non-work tasks anymore.

I watch movies on it. Hehe!

Kindle app. News apps. I use it just like my phone, but it's more comfortable. I used it a lot in law school with that wireless keyboard too.

Mine (first generation - with an AT&T data plan back when you couldn't get a Verizon iPad - remember those days) just officially broke two weeks ago. Won't turn on. I'm sad.

Oh and I loved watching tv shows on it. It was great for nights I couldn't sleep so that I didn't disturb DH too much.

My kids have taken over our iPads. Seriously, 90 percent of their use is by our kids. I use it to read at night from the Kindle app. Dh's EMR uses iPads, but he only uses his work issued one. I still prefer my phone, even though it has a smaller screen.

We have four iPads. Yes you read that correctly. I don't use mine that much. Mostly for surfing Zillow and watching HBO Go when I'm to lazy to use Apple TV. Everyone else in my family loves their iPads. I personally stick to my iPhone for everything. DH reads on his and no longer uses his Paperwhite Kindle and uses it for work.

Yep, same here. I *never* use my ipad anymore. It's stored on top of the refrigerator. If it's down within DD's reach, she will be on it, playing games and watching shows. Plus, I locked it down and don't have email or anything useful for me anymore. So, my phone is more useful to me. I had to remove my email from the ipad after my DD almost emailed one of my ranty draft emails to our landlord, that I did NOT want them to see!

I pretty much use it as a bigger version of my phone, but it's much better with apps that have a lot of photos. (FB, Instagram, Zillow, Pinterest, etc.) I'll go through phases where I use it a ton, and then barely at all.

DH has a mini he takes to work everyday. We have an attachable keyboard he loves. I only use it when he needs the computer (we have a 2nd computer but it's as old as the hills). Love the convenience of buying / downloading books on it. That's about it.

It's great for minor photo editing, news, books, magazines (I have a few subscriptions on the Newstand app), and cloud based work. I was surprised that I could also use it directly for making videos in iMovie and as a scanner for documents. It's much easier to tote around than my laptop and the integrated camera makes it actually a stronger device for certain jobs.

If you put your movies and photos on it doesn't that eat up all the memory though.

You can store in the cloud (photo stream) or upload directly to Dropbox.
