Type on a keyboard.
Plug shit into it.
Not worry about what codec the video file I'm trying to play has.
they have bluetooth keyboards for ipads, but the on screen one isn't bad at all.

On screen keyboards are OK on small device, on something about the size of a small laptop they suck. I'd be fairly shocked if you said you preferred to type on a tablet compared to a similar sized laptop.
Dealing with a tablet and an unattached keyboard seems more hassle than just having a laptop in the first place.
About the only thing I've found tablets OK for is watching videos and.... well videos look quite nice on them.
OH and photos!
Using an iPad 2. I am tempted to pick up a Transformer Prime though

Anand has a f/u on the main page, and he's gone through 3 review units now. I think I'll sit out for gen 3 at this point. I do like Android quite a bit, and the reviews of ICS are very good.
One of the things that irritates the hell out of me with the Flyer's soft buttons is that when I'm typing, I keep hitting home, back, and action accidentally. Perhaps on a larger device that's not a problem, but I just read a reviewer saying he's having the same issues with the new Nexus...
CM9?? You mean CM7?Had an HP Touchpad and tried it both with CM9 and WebOS, now it sits gathering dust while I use my iPad 2 everyday. Say what you will, iOS is better than both of them for just working out of the box.
Touchpad with CM7 Xron-modded. Battery life is passable (pretty much about the same as WebOS, that is, not terribly great) but just picking it up from the Touchstone charger is nice.
Works fine and the speakers are good for a tablet but it's often easier to just use my computer that's just sitting there. Opera Mobile works great in tablet form (Firefox Mobile works surprisingly well too) but when you really want to crank out posts on a forum, a computer is nicer with a keyboard and mouse.
