This is why the iPad is a fail, even though people buy them. An expensive piece of equipment wasted on doing menial, trivial things, that would be far more efficient on a laptop or iPhone.
Maybe one day, when the iPad runs full OSX, and as powerful as a computer, and that it can truly portable computer, that's when we can hail it a success and a useful too.
Currently it is a glorified iPod touch, and a toy. And really, for the price, get a laptop, a piece of machinery where you can actually do some work. I wish I was rich so I could buy one of these to play with when I'm taking a dump.

I commute on Skytrain and I see people doing useless AND useful tasks on laptops or iPads. I see people travelling playing Solitaire on their laptop. Doesn't make laptops useless, even if the person is doing something trivial.
You might not think a tablet is useful, but I can think of several ways in which a tablet would allow me to get more work done each day, which is why I'm buying one soon.
