I don't know what you do with it, but I pity those in business who put themselves under pressure thru the compulsive use of iPAD messaging.
Recently, a guy I know emailed me on a matter ten times, when once would have done the trick, simply because he could respond in an instant.
Those who manage their time in a manner which reduces pressure and which enables focus will know what I mean.

The thing that I hate most about the iPAD (or iXXX) is when I get an email with the "Sent from my iPAD". It pisses me off doubly: first that Apple would put their damn advertising in paying customers emails and second, that the asshole sending the email didn't show me the courtesy of removing this gratuitous advertising. The worst part about the advertising is the word "my", the obvious implication being that "I" am cool and you are not (unless you have one of these as well). Obviously, I am not taken in by this hype, but I will admit that the world is full of idiots who are, as witnessed by the price of Apple stock.
Apart from this marketing BS there are functional problems too, problems that I am stuck with on occasion when a download customer can't make these crippled computers work with my website. I have never had this problem with customers using real computers.

I play with it. It's a toy, an amusement device....
It's quite good at it. Right now I writing to you from the comfort of my couch but for work I use a PC at my desk downstairs surrounded by books and paper.
This works well for reading stuff like AA, the news, PDF files and for looking at maps and such. However typing on it is rather slow but nice and quiet, as it has no moving parts except for five switches.
They were not designed for work and yet they can do some. We had a new HVAC system installed last winter and one of the guys that quoted it was using an iPad. His had a camera and he'd take a picture of the existing stuff and he'd measure and fill in blanks on a form in real time. Ultimately it coughed up the quote and he just copied the numbers to paper and gave it to us. Pretty slick.

Why do you tie your concerns specifically to the iPad?
