A big part of my job is finding new technologies and keeping myself informed -- for this, the iPad has been an excellent tool.
Another big part of my job is testing out new technologies and writing about my experiences -- for this, the iPad is next to useless.
That said, I take a lot of notes on my iPad. For this, it's not optimal, but its getting better -- closer to pen & paper. Unlike pen & paper, I can actually share my notes and drawings with my globally-distributed team.
If Apple wants to reverse the trend of perception against the iPad as a consume-only device, they should perfect its ability to simulate pen & paper and tout its usefulness as a note-taking device. This appears to be the approach Samsung is taking with the Galaxy Note.
