Yes ipad gamer it is as easy as the laptop.
Planning on getting an iPad 2. I'll use it for:
-Surfing the net on the couch. Hate my bulky laptop for that.
-Skype/Facetime. Also hate my laptop for that.
-Newspapers and magazines (will stick with my Kindle for books)
-PDFs. I'm a professor so I read a ton of scholarly journal articles in PDF format
-Watching Netflix and other videos in bed (again hate the laptop for that). But will be limited as I'd rather watch on my big screen HDTV.
-Random Apps (games, bloomberg etc.)
facebook, youtube, games, web, apps, music, vids, pics.
that what i will use
I've cut down my laptop usage by about 75% after buying my iPad. Now, the only times I use my laptop is for MMORPG gaming (not really a fan of Pocket Legends) and for editing documents since my typing is faster on a real keyboard.
I use my iPad for...
-short gaming stints (I'm so badly addicted to Fruit Ninja)
-surfing and posting on forums
-watching YouTube videos (love the full screen)
-surfing the Internet in bed
-the reading of ebooks
-as a timer or alarm clock
-as an MP3 player
-storage of important notes and events
-as a Bible; so much easier to find passages, especially when during sermons!
It's basically a constant companion for me, I take it just about everywhere I go.
Interesting question, What do you think you'll use your iPad 2 for?
My WiFi 64GB model is used all day for something or the other:
communication (Textplus, email)
budget management (Pageonce, DocsToGo w/Google Docs, Mint)
books (Bible, Logos, Pocketbible, Kindle, Audible)
news (CNN, CNBC, Newsy, weather and blog apps)
reference (Wikipanion, Dictionary, WebMD, iTranslate, Calorie Counter, Maps, & PDFs in Google Docs)
database/information management (HandDbase, Simplenote, calendar, addressbook,)
TV/Radio (Slingplayer/Vulcano, Xfinity, Pockettunes, Pandora)
games (Nonograms, Suduko, Card Shark, Daily Jigsaw, Monopoly)
alarm clock (Night Stand)
I'd like the camera but it isn't worth the upgrade since I also have a iPod Touch 4th Generation (got it free from a bank). When USB and SD memory is added, I'll upgrade.
We used the ipad 2 solely to shoot a music video on it and see what it's capability was...We shot this video in 20 hours. the quality of the low light levels are pretty sick.

I wanted a tablet PC and found out that the Apple Ipad was about the same price as others that I looked at, I had an Iphone 3 and trashed it for a real cell phone without the stuff I did not need. I just want a phone that works good no text, no data and one that does not break like a windshield on a car. I use the Ipad 16 gb wifi only to lie in bed and watch netflix, ebay and craigslist. I see why now it was only $399 because it was discontued for the new Ipad 2? Glad I found this cheaper one because a camera is worthless with somthing this big. Can not believe the people wanting the Ipad 2 so they can have cameras and video? I think I will stay with a 10 mp camera that fits in my pocket. I like my Ipad but its nothing to brag about. save your money and buy a ipad for $399 before they are gone or buy a windows 7 tablet your best bet if you got the money.
