Default Tablets & iPad

Yesterday while i was at best buy i spent alot of time looking at tablets (which was a mistake) But anyway, I'm curious to see if any members have a tablet/ipad. If you do, i'm very interested in what you guys use it for. I'd love to have one, but i havent really determined a use for it.

If you do/dont have one which one would/do you have? Vote in the poll and lets see what wins

Um I don't see a poll. But I have a Samsung Galaxy tab and use it for general browsing, facebook, sometimes twitter (although I tweet more from my blackberry), and various games. I also use it for Google Music. Basically my entire music collection is available to me w/o using up the memory on my tablet. I'm honestly not sure if I'll replace my iPod when it finally dies. Google Music even syncs up my playlists that I've put together. Plus, as I get better with computers, I'll be able to make my own apps for my Galaxy since it's Android.

I see it now. I just don't like the UI of the apple products. Not to mention, I have serious issue with some of Apple's business practices. Therefore they won't get my money. I'm about to upgrade my phone in a few weeks and I've decided on the HTC Rezound. I'd love to stay with blackberry but the new Bold is having some issues, plus if I'm going to spend that much on a phone, I'm going to have 4G and I don't think my current BB has enough life left in it to hold out the rest of the year for a 4G blackberry.

Meh, BlackBerry is refreshing their Playbook and having a 1.5 dual core, they already have 1 gig of ram, etc. etc.

I own a BlackBerry Playbook. I also own a BlackBerry phone and they tether together beautifully so I have no additional charges, or service plans.

I really love it. It does EVERYTHING I want it to do, and it does it very well and with a 7" screen it is extremely portable. I'm actually using it today to load a walkthrough for taking apart my Camaro's center console.
