[Hard Way]

I like the iPad for those long international flights. I see a lot of tablets in use on planes (I fly often). Much easier than digging out a laptop, and larger screen for movies/games than a phone provides.

However, I almost never use it at home. :^)

What's wrong with reading a good book?

I don't fly much, anymore, I don't play games, I'd rather eat broken glass pieces doused with strychnine, than read a book a machine, watch a movie on an iPhone or iPad, have even MORE trouble using a touch screen, than I had using a mouse ( which was by bete noir, until I could do without one ), and frankly, these aren't really all that good for children. It ruins their eyes, makes them never use their memories, halts some of their other abilities, but it does work as a babysitter.

Same here (except I have a Samsung tablet). I use it to play music on long flights and to check email while traveling. I rarely use it at home since I still have a desktop.

It sure beats lugging a laptop around.
