I owned an iPad . . . it's boring. .
What exactly did you find boring about the iPad?
The only thing I really find boring is the home screen but I actually like how Apple is keeping it boring as it is there to only serve the purpose of launching apps and I really don't want that cluttered with battery draining widgets, if I want that sort of experience I will just fire up one of the night stand type apps that does the whole clock, weather, Facebook, twitter & rss feed thing.
The other thing that could be improved upon is the app switching, something like WebOS's cards or even simple three finger swipe left and right as I spend the majority of my time in a handful of apps.
The apps on the iPad let me do just about any computing task I need to, a small sample:
Citrix Receiver - Allows me to remotely support clients even those with SecurID tokens
Koder - Allows me to make changes to my freelance clients' websites within a tabbed editor with syntax highlighting
Kayak - Allows me to search for and then book flights for business or leisure purposes
Tapatalk - Allows me to post this post
LogMeIn Ignition - Allows me to log in to my home computer if I need to do something remotely
Plex - Allows me to stream my movies/tv shows that weren't bought in iTunes to wherever I am
I could go on and on... Just about the only thing the iPad can't do that I'd like, which is no fault of Apple's is to connect to my work's proprietary VPN to allow me to work on internal projects and do things like time sheets but the VPN is really strict with requiring Windows and having a virus scanner & firewall etc installed.
So I'm really curious about what people find boring about the iPad, personally I think if you get bored on an iPad then when you switch to Android (I had a Samsung Galaxy S phone for a while so I know what Android is like) you will initially be all excited about a tablet again as you get to tweak things to your heart's desire but when you finish tweaking and start to actually just use your tablet you will once again become bored with it.
I just don't think a tablet is suitable for many people, especially if they don't embrace it. For example once I got my iPad I was determined to leave my MBP at home all the time unless I know I am going to specifically need it for something that I can't do on my iPad like do some internal company work when away from the office. I know if I carried both the MBP and the iPad then the iPad would just sit in my bag a lot of the time but now I use my iPad all the time, at work it sits on my desk in my Incase Origami keyboard case connected to work's guest wifi so I can use it for breaks without disrupting the workflow I have open on my dual monitors of my workstation and elsewhere I just pull the iPad out to do whatever task I have at hand.
