For those of you who already have tablets and are upgrading, what will you do with your new iPad when you get it? Anything different from what you are doing now?

Restore from backup. :p

Anything different from what you are doing now?
Since I'm moving from a 9.7" iPad, I'll probably put the Mini through its paces to confirm if it's a good fit (technical PDF, double-page comic spreads with, lots of smallprint, etc).
 
Test the gyroscope, accelerometer, light bleed, lag, stutter. If these check out, I'll weigh and measure the device to make sure it meets specs. It will then be time for a tear down, just to make sure Apple didn't sneak an A6X processor in mine. Once I glue the pieces back together, I'll drop test it, but only because Apple showed the Air being dropped from a mechanical device... in slow motion.

After all of the above, I'll install Real Racing 3 and..... DAMN! I was going to say enjoy a few laps around the track, but I'll have to check for dropped frames first. :D:D:D

Yeah this sums up what most new users on here will do.
 
Enjoying the jump from 16GB to 128GB. Reinstalling some big apps I've been forced to delete due to size. Plugging in my Apogee Jam and making some new music.

I have a 128GB iPad 4, and it holds a LOT of music and video. Enjoy!;)

I'll probably buy the new iPad, and enjoy its lighter weight. My main iPad right now is a Mini, but the Air's looking more tempting every day. Hopefully I don't offend anyone by saying the iPad 4's plastic volume rocker feels cheap compared to the Mini. Thinner is better as well, so I guess I'll be enjoying the larger screen again.
 
I'm not big enough to not admit it....look at some adult entertainment.

Also known as PBS!
 
Lick it and caress it. Seriously..... I think people would just start using it as soon as it's charged. What else would you do with it?
 
I will do what I always do when I have a new toy. Set it up. Then I will get my dad a new iPhone 5c or 5s with it.
 
I have some new accessories to use and penetrate it with and I will fondle it ALL night
 
I'm going to add some large apps that I couldn't before on my 16gb iPad 3. I'm going the 64gb route this time
