I'm using my iPad all the time, from hobby stuff like reading books, flipping Flipboard, browsing tumblr, reading news etc..
and I also use it as a professional as well. I use it for presentations, sketching, note taking and few weeks back I bought external midi controller to make some music with garage band.
The idea for this post came from seeing those Apple "What will your verse be?" series of ads. Also our of curiosity I've watched some of the old Newton ads, kinda funny but they show people using this Newton to help them with their business stuff.
What are some of your uses for iPad?
Which apps do you use and how?

I blew my load over the screen this morning looking at...um...photos.
Wiping it off made the screen do some jittery stuff like I'd done some magical trick with my fingers, half-swiping between apps.
Oh... wait. You said professional...sorry.

i bought mine the other day for traveling with. i'm gonna be backpacking through italy soon and wanted something small i can toss in my bag instead of a big, heavy macbook.
i plan on using it for navigation, movies and magazines on planes and trains, and checking mail, mostly.

I use an android tablet, to casually show concepts, stills, mood-boards, and a few images in conversations with prospective clients, rather than hauling out a printed book or sending them to a website...

I used to use it to access screenplays on shoot days, but the batteries always end up dying and we always revert to the print before it even got to that point, + the print is way easier just to write and or scribble when you need to.
some shoot days can be pretty hectic depending on how many variables you got going, and depending on your role, the more you have on your plate, an iPad is the last fucking thing you want to deal with.
an iPad which sounded like a good idea at first, ended up just getting in the way.
