I use my iPad to read comics and browse the web if I'm not in my office, it just turns on so much faster than my laptop since the iPad is always on.
Shit, that never occured to me!
I do character modelling, so I have a cintiq for Zbrush and Photoshop purposes... and that's what I use it for. Never even thought about using it for games, always just saw it as a work tool. My mind is blown. The possibilities! ;P

Nifty little devices, these tablets. I can certainly see the appeal. However, I know all I'd do is game on it, and a 3DS is a lot cheaper.
1400 does not a representative sample make. What controls did they have on this survey? How many degrees of separation? I'm going to call BS on their study method unless they reveal how their survey was carried out
Never cared for these types of surveys because they're never an accurate, and never will be unless you get every single user's vote, which we know is damn near impossible.
"since it seems I could do everything more easily on a computer without having to paw and claw at an expensive touchscreen"
Including games, though.
I bet any amount of cash that the question was asked as "Which of these things have you done on your tablet?" so even mums who downloaded Angry Birds and played it once will be included in the gargantuan 1400 person survey.

BAM.
Oh wait, tablets are stupid. Seriously, outside of touch support - which is not that big of a deal and makes almost everything *more* difficult - what do tablets have to offer?

Games? I play games more on my IPod now rather than my IPad. I use the IPad mostly for surfing the net, but I also LOVE to read books and the daily newspaper (which is free) on my IPad. I can also watch TV with some of the great apps that stream TV shows to the IPad (many of these apps have yet to make their way to the IPod, same is true of newspapers). Recently I've also become a huge fan of reading magazines on the IPad - regular magazines, but also web based magazines like Flipboard, Zite, etc.
.. both my husband and my mother strongly prefer using the IPad as opposed to a computer. My parents are considering getting rid of their PC and just using the IPad. They figure the only thing they would need the PC for would be the IPad updates, and they can just get me to do that for them on the odd occassion when one releases. Aside from that, they don't see much reason to bother keeping their PC anymore.
... though now that I think about it, my Mom has been trying quite a few of the games I loaded on to her IPad...
(and for those wondering what tablets have to offer over PC's or even the iPhone/iPod - it's the reading - beautiful magazines, web based magazines (hard to describe... but look up flipboard), full streaming TV, the daily newspapers... they're all ideally suited to a tablet)

I can see gaming being a big thing on Ipad, but I barely game on mine. Have a shitload of games though but most were free, played once and chucked aside.
The main uses of my iPad is comics (making and reading), A sketchbook, internet when not at my computer, news feed, notes, script writing/book writing/blogging. Gaming is like way at the end of my list.
