Poll: How often do you use your iPad?

In the latest string of surveys from companies who have nothing to do with Apple or technology, MyVoucherCodes.co.uk polled 1500 respondents in the UK and found that 26% of them used their iPad about once a week. The low usage from a quarter of owners, apparently is due to the fact that half of them own a Wi-Fi only model and can't use it for surfing the web while commuting. On the flip side, 42% of UK iPad owners surveyed said they use the device every single day, so I wouldn't worry about the success of the iPad in the UK.
This, of course, begs the question: how often do you use your iPad? Let us know in the poll below.

I own a wifi-only (first generation) iPad, and use it every day for several hours.
I'm a student, so I use my iPad in school, because I find it easier to get my notes organized with it (in apps like AwesomeNote). It is also slightly lighter than my (white '08) macbook.
I also use it everyday, as my main computing device, just because it is easy to use!
The iPad has nearly replaced both my computer and iPhone and now I barely use those two devices, but for their main functions (iPhone for phoning, and the mac for bigger assignments).
I use mine everyday. I use it most of the time instead of my laptop, my legal pad, my television and my iPhone. I use it for gaming. I use it as my cookbook. On college football Saturdays, I use it as a second TV to watch live games. It doesn't heat up or lag like my 2-yr. old HP laptop does. I use it to read book and magazines. It has become indispensable.

I intend on using my iPad for just about everything I need to do for work and play
I use mine everyday! 3G is an important element in that use.

November 11 2011 at 8:19 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyI spend a lot of time studying in iBooks with DRMfree books (O'Reilly & PragProg). When I need to make some content:
Lessee, Dragon Dictate to get some notes & paragraphs going. Bopped into a text file into Dropbox. Then to MarsEdit on my MBP. Remodium pages me (from Adium) when I get the occasional chat.
iCloud takes care of bopping bookmarks between the Safaris, the WiFi takes care of my ToDos via Things.app(s).
I spend just about as much time in front of the iPad (or it off to the side) as with my MBP. And I can answer/flag in all Mail.app(s) concerned.
Scary, eh? --Leo
I start my day on my mac, do my heavy work and and then just use my iPad for social networking, casual browsing, news reading, e-mails, iBooks and some gaming, and I usually just don't go back to the mac.
