To get a good idea of really productive uses for the iPad, check out the book The Ultimate iPad by James Floyd Kelly.

This is not the usual introductory iPad book with a list of features and another list of apps available. There are in-depth discussions of document handling, storage, scanning, organizing, banking, backup and remote control.

Highly recommended.

Full disclosure: I have no relationship whatsoever with the author; I'm simply a satisfied reader of his book.
