What do you think you'll use your iPad for?

[ProPhotoGA]

I use my iPad as a electronic portfolio for my photography business as well as
and Electronic Flight Book for use in my airplane. 2 great aviation apps are
SkyCharts Pro and ForeFlight3 HD. Very good and accurate moving map
displays that I use in my Remos G3-600 Light Sport Airplane.

There are rumors of smaller iPads that will be launched on 4th quarter. Anyway I think at some point Apple will launch new iPads and will diversify the iPad line. I see so many uses for the iPad that I can't even start. But as an artist I think the iPad excels as a tool. I was thinking to get one smaller iPad, when available as I thought a smaller size to be better to take it anywhere and not just for the living room, but when I saw the YouTube videos about finger painting something happened to me. I bought 2 more art apps and started painting and modeling.

Having just got mine I think I'll mainly use it for checking emails etc throughout the day, reading rss feeds, updating Twitter, blogging, surfing the web, reading comics and watching movies. Have no interest in using it as an mp3 player my iPod classic is there for that.

At the beginning I thought: surfing and editing texts. Now I would add gaming to the list...

I use mine for work and personal use. I am in outside sales and I have product demos loaded on the iPad. I have already noticed a very positive response from customers as they see and interact with the products through the iPad. I also use it at home for browsing, reading, playing games and listening to music. I forgot to mention my favorite feature...Netflix.

The iPad is truly an incredible device!

I will be writing novels on it. The difficulty of moving files off of the device is an excellent security feature for a writer. There is no reason to worry about people "borrowing" my works when they cant access them.

I love writing on the device and the ability of Pages to save files in MS word is handy with publishers. No offense to pages native format, it is just not preferred by the industry.

Wacom Cintiq 12wx replacement

I wish it can be used as Wacom Cintiq 12wx, so when it attached to PC/Mac, the input function can be added to the PC. I know it's not possible yet, but it would be nice to have this function.

cocoa117,
Doodle Budy, Art Studio, and Drawing Pad all can save as photos and some can email them directly. They are more cumbersome to use than a Wacom since the screen is a capacitance detection rather than a pressure detection sensitive screen. It is more difficult than a Wacom pen to make fine lines. I haven't tried to overpaint a photo though. Still on my list. Some, and I don't remember which, can do layers and you could probably do something similar. If you are going for freehand, it can do a reasonable job.
You could sketch your beginning work "Plein Air" and then send it home for further work.
Good luck.

I will use iPad to test those apps with high rating during my free time.

I'll be using mine to access Facebook and various blogs. And maybe a few magazine apps and games as well. ...Probably all while I'm within 5 feet of my iMac, lol. Sad, I know.

As a laptop replacement. It's working very well so far. I have it tethered to my tilt 2 win mo phone thru wifi seamlessly. Very fast connection speeds and after 1st. Connect, it does it automatically thereafter. Too cool. I was very biased against apple for a long time But this iPad is my fav. Device of all time. Had it a lil ova a week now. The apple branded case is very versatile. This iPad is Amazing. ;-)
