We absolutely love ours. We sit in bed and watch Survivor or Modern Family on it. Wife uses it for email and Facebook. Suppose I would to but I just cant get into Facebook. Have ticked off several friends because I dont use it anymore.
Anyway, I use the IPAD for a real time analyzer, decibel meter, tower defense games to pass the time, as well as my favorite application which is as a remote control for VLC Media Player. I run VLC on my laptop. Put the laptop near the system and plug USB to my DAC. Sit on the couch and browse all 496GB of songs on my USB drive that is attached to the laptop via a IPAD app called VLC Remote. I can then play any tune, adjust volume, rewind FF Pause (all the CDP type functions)browse to a new song, create a playlist, etc.. And this all happens instantly. There is zero lag and I love it.
Also, we have two young children. The oldest, 4, can use it on long trips to play little educational games or watch movies.
With 3G it acts as a GPS and gets us where we are going. We leave the house and THEN look for restaurants to go to and once we find one we then search for coupons for it.  Love that little thing.
