What do you do with your ipad?

[dowagercountess]

I am an android girl, but recently came into possession of an ipad mini. Rec your ipad activities, apps, etc. 

[wannabe]

GBCN. heh.

[lilac05]

GBCN, Tapped Out (Simpsons Game), email, Facebook. That's about it!

[hisno1girl]

I know what I CAN'T do with my iPad anymore: PIP in a post!!

Annoying!!!

I use my iPad for everything that I used my desktop for except printing.

[CloudBee]

Everything. We gave ours (mine!) to the ILs earlier this fall, and I've really missed it. We wanted to make sure they were actually going to use it before replacing. Then wanted to hold off for a new model and a good deal. Just snagged a mini at Target. Rather than being on sale, it came with a $100 Target GC.

ANYWAY. I use it to surf the net, FaceTime, manage my calendar, and watch videos/edit photos when we travel. It's really handy when we're away from home.

We have TiVo and Optimum Online at home. Both have iPad apps so we can stream.

[shell24]

Same stuff I do in my phone, just on a bigger screen.

Not enough to justify the cost lol.

[mrsjuleshs]

It sits on a bookcase rarely used. I only really ever used it for netflix or games.

OK I don't want to thread jack, but I had been considering getting an iPad sometime next year, and I'd like to just ask one question:

Are there keyboards compatible with it/can you use a keyboard with it if you want? H has an iPad but is unsure. I loathe typing on a touch screen and don't know how much I'd use it if that's all I could use to type.

Yes. Google Bluetooth iPad keyboard and you'll come up with all sorts of results. You just need to find the one that is compatible with the specific iPad and stick with the well known brands. Cheaping out will not work out well for you.

The hub has this one and likes it: www.zagg.com/ipad-mini-retina-cover/8719

GBCN when my phone and MacBook are dead.

Oh also I love it for recipes. I prop it up on the kitchen counter like a cook book.

That's pretty much it though.

[olegregg]

I use it for most things like gbcn, shopping, email (though it sucks for that), recipes, etc. Some games, like candy crush, but not often.

Absolutely everything on the Internet.  I've had my iPad for 3 years and I actually got rid of my desktop because I didn't use it.  I have a wireless air printer so I can print as well.  
I don't need to type documents otherwise the keypad would be an issue.  
I use it to listen to music at home and work as well.  I'd be totally lost without it.

Same level!!! Been on it for three weeks. I surrender.

I pretty much gave up, because it has been over a year. No joke

Tapped Out
family Guy: The Quest for Stuff
Two Dots
Banking
gBCN
To take attendance and grade during classes (we use Skedula, and they just updated the app to make it an Amal g classroom tool)
Project stuff in my class room

[Deleted]

Give it to my 3 year old.

The only two apps that I use that I prefer on the iPad are The New York Times app and Trulia. But I guess anything with pictures and/or video. Oh, and Angry Birds!

[kayakjenn]

Basically anything that I used my laptop for except things that need to be printed (I'm dying for an airprint printer.) All of my recipes are on it and I use Pinterest for cooking, too. All social media.

It basically never leaves my hands from the time I get home until I fall sleep because I use the Amazon Prime/HBO Go/Netflix apps instead of tv to fall asleep at night. It's an addiction.

When I get my fiancial situation back on track I will upgrade to an Air with 64g, I'm using an Ipad 2 with 16g and it just isn't enough. Do yourself a favor and go for 64.

Not sure what your classroom looks like, but you may find it to be an amazing tool to use.

Candy Crush, when I run out of lives on my computer.

And I use it as a computer alternative (for email/twitter/instagram/GBCN) when I travel.

[dowagercountess]

This is very helpful. I'll keep it. I have a giant android phone, but only my school laptop. Thank you all!

[Marle]

I don't use it a whole lot now. For Christmas we bought this for Logan.

By the way if you're interested in buying one of these let me know. I have big discounts for it until Monday.

[EllieArroway]

My 4-year old uses it to watch YouTube toy reviews. He also plays games and watches cartoons, but he spends most of his iPad time on YouTube.

Before he took it over, I used it to GBCN, read, watch TV/movies, shop, and play games.

[mookie]

Pinterest, web surfing, word/excel, Evernote, Instagram, email, GBCN, candy crush and porn.
