Different devices for different uses..

Everybody has the machine of their choice. I have my MacBook that I use for most everything while traveling but the iPad allows me to haul it around the house and do much more.

My setup at the house is I have a mini mac hooked up to our big screen and am able to control it through the iPad and iPhone to launch apps (hulu desktop, Front Row, Plex and general browsing without a keyboard/mouse or looking for that damned little white remote (2 yr old in house).
I can check my server and windows machines and other macs in the house remotely from the pad as well.

It is not just an e-reader to me.. I am typing this on the couch from the reader now. The biggest bonus I have noticed is the battery life. This is where it is putting the laptops to shame. So far the longest run I have obtained is 11 hours with multiple movies and constant internet use.
