I still only have my iPad 1. I don't use it often enough (maybe 10 hours a year) to justify getting a newer one.

I mean, it's good entertainment on a plane, but otherwise it's just a handy thing to lend to non-technical people who are uncomfortable with keyboards. If I'm not in front of my computer, my phone is more useful for getting to the web.

It sounds like you don't use it enough to justify having that one!

... but basically what you said backs up the target audience argument.

Outside the house maybe.

In the bedroom/sofa/crapper the iPad cannot be beat by the phone or the laptop, though.

What it does is, it frees you from having to be tied to a chair and office in your own house, for browsing, checking your mail and reading stuff.
