I got myself into Video Postcasts now. I can't get enough of this stuff. Discovery has a great one and so does Nasa.

Anyone know any external places to get good Video Podcasts that are not on iTunes??

Some of the stuff looks great on the new iPad screen too.

P.S. What is a "Smexy Video"?? Porn??
 
I don't have an iPad but i have an iPhone and i know what i would use the iPad for. I voted for everything but ''E-books'' and ''Using it as a veggie/meat cutter ! Wait WHAT?!''.

I would be surprised if someone bought it and didn't use it for web browsing :)
 
Hmm.. it seems that most people use it just for web browsing.

Yes, it's pornyshizzlytuber.
 
Web is my main use for it. I love it because it's like you reached into your computer screen and pulled the Safari window out to hold in your hands.

If you remember, the tablet was referred to as the Safari Pad back when Apple was developing it but chose to release the iPhone first. I think Safari Pad is an excellent description for its primary purpose.

That said, now that I've used Photoshop Touch on it I'm convinced that the iPad will become a powerful content creation tool soon. It's not quite there due to the limited processing power, but once they put a dual or quad core CPU inside it'll be a formidable challenger to both desktop and laptop computers.

You didn't ask what percentage of time is spent doing each of these things. I use my iPad's brower, but that's probably only 10% of what I use it for. Given your poll, most of my iPad's use would fall under "Other". (I use it primarily with TouchOSC and Lemur)
