Have an iMac which i use for app development, iTunes maintenance, and managing my Aperture library. iPad used for everything else. iPad doesn't routinely leave home, though i do take it on holidays with me.

Seems to work very well as a combination.

1. I use it quite a lot.
2. I have an iMac but I use my iPad for quick searches on the Internet or a short game.
3. I usually use it in bed or around the house.
 
1. Constantly.
2. MacBook White, which I use for CD or DVD ripping, heavy multitasking, flash websites if I must, Skyping with video; iPad for most everyday tasks like web, email, weather, train times, FB and Twitter,etc.
3. Couch, bed, bog, bath (carefully), train, and occasionally out and about. Invaluable on trips.
 
1. Throughout the day
2. No, I have an iMac. (I had a regular MacBook, but the iPad replaced it.)
3. Mostly at home, sometimes out on the porch, and even more occassionally away from home (hotel rooms, in the car).
 
1) All the Time
2) 15" MacBook Pro; Primary Machine - Sits on my Desk + 13" MacBook Pro hooked up to a 22" Samsung LCD - Sits on my other Desk
3) Bed, Couch, Around the House - Mainly for Reading, YouTube, Quick E-mail Replies, Netflix, Twitter, or Facebook
 
1. Daily
2. No got a lovely gaming laptop which has been unused for 2 weeks now due to iPad. Poor laptop.
3. Everywhere, on trains, on the loo, in bed.

1. All the time except when I'm sleeping or it needs charging
2. Don't have a MB
3. School [I write notes on it using a stylus in the Notes Plus application], work [for same purposes as school], home, all those times when I need something to waste time with or have some minor work to finish.
 
1. thoughout waking hours

2. nope. Macbook Air, MacBook, 12 and 15" G4 Powerbooks

3. All around the house: sprawled on the couch with a cup of tea or coffee nearby. In the kitchen. Standing by the back door waiting for the UPS guy to show up. On the porch. In the yard under a tree. Once in awhile, in bed, although usually I'm ten seconds from unconscious when I kill the lights on the first floor and head upstairs. At other people's houses when they ask to see it and I remember to take it along.

I have a Belkin case, the Grip Vue one. Works for me. I don't have to worry if I set it down for a minute on a damp countertop, for instance.
 
I have both a 3G iPad and 2010 MBP.
I use iPad everywhere I go, including bed & bathroom.
I use the MBP primarily for iOS development and some design work.
I have the Apple iPad case, and love it, but I've noticed the color seems to be fading a lot. It's now almost gray.
 
1. Daily

2. Yes. I dont take my laptop to University any more, as it is a tad heavy, and I was only ever using it to check websites as I dont like typing up notes anyway.

3. In bed, at Uni, on the toilet 😛
 
1. Daily
2. Yes. I use the iPad when lazy to carry around Macbook Pro.
3. Everywhere. Toilet too. 😛
 
1. Daily
2. Yes, but my MBP has turned more into a desktop computer as I no longer have the need to tote it around. My next computer will likely be a Mac Mini or iMac
3. Work, home, in bed, in the car for streaming music (iPad has unlimited data while iPhone doesn't). I usually carry the iPad with me wherever I go.
