Couch surfing for the win!

Much better than trying to use a netbook and a mouse on a lap desk. Much cooler on the legs, also.

It does exactly want I wanted - allow me to lounge on my sofa in the living room in perfect comfort.

Just ONE thing?

I'd say the battery life.

Runner-ups: The portability, streaming via Netflix, watching movies, social networking apps like Echofon and the official Facebook, the gestures, iMessage, Skype... I could go on, but I won't.

Instant gratification. I can look something up, chat with a friend, catch up on email, enter my time for work, watch a TV episode or a movie, read, play games... All from the comfort of my easy chair without waiting for my computer to boot! Very spontaneous and natural.

Portrait and Landscape connections. If you lay back and rest the pad on your chest to read a book, for example, you will find that the dock connector is blocked, and if you have a cable plugged in there, you risk damaging the cable. Having a second connector around the corner would make things much more comfortable.

Same reason for me. I also take it everywhere I go. I'm enjoying, perhaps a little too much, playing Words with Friends" and Scrabble. I love reading on my various app libraries, Kindle, Nook, and IBook. I use Facebook, Twitter, and of course this forum. The Flipboard, Skygrid and various other news-reader apps are great. How about HBO GO, Netflix, etc.

Well, you get my point. I am so happy I gave this device a 2nd chance. I had bought the IPad1 in the beginning of 2011 and returned it the next day. In late August, I bought my new best friend and haven't looked back since.
