The only time it's not...is when I'm in the shower. Really.

I have an iPhone, but so far my iPad goes with me everywhere as well.

Isn't it amazing just have useful the iPad has turned out to be?

Mine doesn't go out of the house with me, but then I'm a stay at home grandmother and I'm not out running around all too often. I babysit my granddaughter and it's in my lap all day long while I'm with her, and rarely is it out of reach.

My daughter, on the other hand, is a college student and she never leaves home without hers!

My iPad goes everywhere I do. Maybe it is easier for us women who carry purses with us everywhere. I have not used my iPhone once for anything other than phone calls and texting since I got the iPad. I am even thinking about get a different phone. I don't want to keep paying for the iPhone data plan if I never use it.

My iPad is always with me. I am giving up my iPhone now with Skype v2 out. Why pay an additional $75 a month when I have everything I want with my iPad.

The deck, the car, the basement (now controls my home theater), the office (when I want to do personal stuff not allowed on the work PC, the airport, the airplane, the hotel lobby, the hotel room, the endless meetings, the park (3G baby) and, of course, the head!

Since I got iteleport, I never touch my MacBook anymore. Poor thing misses me.

Leave it at home. Below are the reasons I was easily able to break my "iPad separation anxiety".

1*** It's too heavy/large and has limited uses and limited battery life.
2*** Ever read in the bath? Ever read a book on your iPad in the bath?
3*** No flash. So much for a lot of web design, or demos of flash sites to customers. I can't even show MY OWN company site to people. ********.
4*** Too Bright. Even at the dimmest setting, the screen causes me a lot of eye strain in a dark room.
(Anyone else find that a problem or is it just me?)
5*** I spend too much money on Apps if I take it everywhere. I know that Apple probably loves that, but the majority of the Apps I have bought I use very seldom. Only maybe a half-dozen get used more than once a month, if that. I check in with a couple online games every few weeks, and the rest of the Apps only get used when I am showing the iPad to someone who has never used one. If you really do take it with you EVERYWHERE, what Apps do you have that are so amazing that you can`t be without them? Perhaps the dictionary/spell-checkers ("underware"???) hey, mi spelin sucs to.
6*** As iPod touch/iPhone folks know...size DOES matter. Bigger is not always better.

Glad to hear you like your iPad. I do to. Just kinda over it already...LINUX time, anyone?
-Mike.

Every post you rave about how you want Linux on the iPad.... why don't you go to the Linux forums and get with people that hate everything from Apple/Microsoft and just do it!

You are becoming a troll..........

Mine hasn't been out of arm's reach since it was delivered last Thursday. I'm off work this week (half-term holidays here in UK) but when I'm back it'll be jammed down the side of my 'go everywhere' toolbox, or in my work backpack during the day, sofa surfing in the evenings, and catching up on emails and the odd web search, news and forums over breakfast. I also have an iPhone, and intend to carry them both, no problem.

Cheers, Pete.

#3 I agree with, but its certainly not a dealbreaker.
The rest are just silly. I mean seriously, you'll spend too much on apps if you carry it? DONT USE THIS THING, THERE"S TOO MUCH GREAT SOFTWARE FOR IT AND YOU WILL SPEND ALL YOUR MONEY!!!!

Linux on the iPad would be a fun experiment though. Be sure and post up if you can get it to run. I dont think I would do it, but it would be fun to see it running.
