It's become very hard for me to use my phone for anything other than Email and Web after using my iPad. Browsing used to be a luxury when I was on my phone now it's tedious and I can't do anything more than google something without being frustrated. Anyone else feel the same?
 
Pretty much so. I find it difficult and frustrating to browse on my iPhone even more so since I got my iPad. Having said that I don't always have my iPad and if I'm in a store and want to check prices or reviews on a product I do all be it reluctantly turn to my iPhone.
 
I think this is pretty universal. Every phone seems clunky/small/frustrating in comparison to the iPad, even the iPhone.

When the original iPad came out, the MacWorld podcast had some discussion this.
 
Same here.
I carry my iPad most of the time which made iPhone less and less productive for me.
I felt like I'm spoiled to feel so but now I know I'm not the only one :D
 
Not really. I still love my iPhone, but it does look tiny when i just used my iPad for a few hours. It feels kind of weird haha.

The lack of screen space is a big deal, but it is fine browsing the web on the bus etc.
 
When I got my iPad 1 on launch day, it felt awkward using a big device in public to browse with. I would always pull out my iPhone... even if I carry my iPad everywhere I go. Since then, I use my iPad 2 everywhere I go. I see more and more people with tablets in public, so it doesn't seem as awkward anymore. I always have my iPhone with me, but my iPad 2 is the first thing I grab when I want to browse.
