I'm glad I'm not the only one.

I really want to like tablets, and have owned (and subsequently given away) several iPads, but they just never seem to have a clear place in my life: I have my phone with me most of the time because it fits conveniently in my pocket, and a significant chunk of the rest of the time I'm sat in front of a proper computer; there isn't really enough of a gap left between those two categories of devices that I'd need a third to fill it.

(I also like physical books and haven't really installed very many apps on my phone. Perhaps I'm just a Luddite.)

Some will react in horror, but my use case for my ancient iPad 1 is, as I'm doing right now, reading in the bath. My phone is both too valuable and too small to fulfil this 'need' safely, and the iPad hardly handles anything other than basic web browsing anymore. Still, since it probably qualifies as a collector's item nowadays, I might stop doing this...

I use my tablet like a second screen for my laptop.

Read emails, documentation, or play media on the tablet while working on the laptop.

I save my phones batter for when I'm on the move.
