That's where I'm at. People seem pretty wild about them but I don't know what it is they're doing with them.

Browisng the web, email, notes/lists etc. All easily and non-obstructive when watching tv or on travel.
On Travel tablets are hands down the best. Battery life they're better than really any laptop you can find unless you shelve out big bucks. Extremely portable. Good games, plays movies very well, good for showing off nude pictures of myself with random people I meet in bus stations/airports/truck stops
I love having a tablet. Now whether or not it is worth getting one tablet versus another is another question. I personally see very little gain in benefit from getting an iPad versus what I have, which is a Touchpad with ICS installed on it
I can also use my tablet as a roku player remote, which is handy to have, I can remote into any of my computers at any time I want also and do dozens of other things. The only thing I need computers for are they are superior to surf the web if I want to dedicate time to do that, gaming, and development

I've been thinking about getting an android tablet for my wife. She would use it for email, websurfing and crappy facebook games like cafe world, but in the little bit of looking I've done I haven't seen she would be able to fire up her time wasters on facebook.

Currently, when I'm, say, reading in bed and something occurs to me, I can fire up the phone and check it out, but, phones are a bit awkward for that. If tablets were a lot cheaper, that's the kind of thing I'd use them for. Can't justify it when they are $400+

I dont have one yet. But I'm getting one soon. Probably just use it for youtube/internet(google)/ movie every now and then. I just like it cause its portable and I never did buy a laptop like I wanted. So its between a laptop or ipad. Ive never had an apple device, so this may be my first. I'm more partial to PCs. So the whole apple experience should hopefully be a good one.

If my kindle fire counts as a tablet, I watch netflix/Amazon videos, read books, play words with friends, and surf the web (ie. porn).

reading books
surfing
checking email
playing games
using apps(I have a spreadsheet app, a calendar app[synced with my phone and PC,] fitness app, map app, finance app[portfolio tracking.])
And the thing is that it is GREAT at all of that. Not just good but fantastic. Outside of certain flash sites I don't think I'd rather have a PC for any of that.
it's nto so much a what can I do that I don't have a nice PC for? it's more of a what do I need to sit at a desk and do now that I have this?
I still game on my PC, and surf and stuff when I'm in here, but it is super rare that I have my kindle out and am wishing i was at my PC.

i gave my tablet to my 2 year old, basically.
he watches movies, plays with his animal sounds, coloring book, and fruit ninja games. i'll be taking it to europe as light, easy access to the interweb tubes.
i've had it for a year and have personally done almost nothing with it. tablets are dumb.

Vids, books, traveling. And internet browsing when I'm being too lazy to get out of bed.
The games tend to get very repetitive.

I find a million and one uses for it but I am a road warrior and it lets me get my e-mail. In fact I can take it in place of my laptop. It also provides books, movies, TV shows, work tools, camera, games, internet.
The tablet is an awesome and amazingly useful item.
If you don't agree your probably doing it wrong.
