Yep - before I get out of bed in the morning I use it to read my email and check on facebook. At work I listen to music, radio and podcasts. At night I read books on it while I'm in bed to help me get to sleep. I use it to make videos and edit pictures and watch missed TV shows. I use it for eBay and Twitter. It will play restful sounds to help me sleep. I can honk a vuvuzela with it while I watch soccer. I can read the Huffington Post, the Drudge Report, USA Today and the NY Times. I use it to check times that movie and TV shows start. It tells me what I have going on today and when it starts and when it stops. It lets me jot notes. It shows me a map when I need to get somewhere. It converts units of measure. It's an alarm clock. It's a timer and a stopwatch. It tells me the weather. It helps me learn Japanese. I can leave myself a voice memo if I don't feel like typing. It tells me what direction I am facing. I can use it like a mirror. I can track my investments......
Oh yes - and I can make phone calls (as long as the case is on it!) 😀
