Security and infrastructure mainly, I dabble in programming.

I got an iPad upon launch, as I had a Sony which was within the 30 day return limit, and I found it unable to do what I mainly got it for, oreilly pdf manuals and books.

I got the wifi only, least memory model, and an external KB.

I use this device for hours every day, and has become one of my favorite devices ever. It has it's restrictions, but the simplicity and speed to turn on, get/create data (email, edit docs, etc) is fantastic. During the typical day I;

Wake up, check my personal email with built in client.
Check weather
Download NYtimes for my lunch break.
listen to NPR

During the day I reference technical manuals, NIST docs, statutes and such (I work in gov't security), read the nytimes. listen to security and technical podcasts.

I go home, and I recheck email
listen to the bbc stream (I live in the US, but I lived in London for a number of years, Radio 4 is a great pleasure to listen to).
Let the kids use kidpix for fun, maybe let them play a game.
telnet to my home systems (I develop open source voip on the side).
Check work email via web
Go to bed, and read a book for a while (I like old books, they are free up at google, and some on itunes).
Listen to podcasts/books on tape while I go to sleep.

and the thing fits into my briefcase, and leaves room for my lunch, I walk to work.

I would like to check out the android stuff, as I do love open source and all, but I am not terribly unhappy with it's current functionality, in fact I was considering jail-breaking it, but I have not found any compelling reason to do so yet.
