+1 As above excluding toileteek
90% of people here also use it on toilet, makes great reading material
Have an iMac which i use for app development, iTunes maintenance, and managing my Aperture library. iPad used for everything else. iPad doesn't routinely leave home, though i do take it on holidays with me.
Seems to work very well as a combination.

1. Constantly.
2. MacBook White, which I use for CD or DVD ripping, heavy multitasking, flash websites if I must, Skyping with video; iPad for most everyday tasks like web, email, weather, train times, FB and Twitter,etc.
3. Couch, bed, bog, bath (carefully), train, and occasionally out and about. Invaluable on trips.

1) All the Time
2) 15" MacBook Pro; Primary Machine - Sits on my Desk + 13" MacBook Pro hooked up to a 22" Samsung LCD - Sits on my other Desk

1. All the time except when I'm sleeping or it needs charging
2. Don't have a MB
3. School [I write notes on it using a stylus in the Notes Plus application], work [for same purposes as school], home, all those times when I need something to waste time with or have some minor work to finish.
Apple branded case for me. I'll put it in the incase sleeve for my 13" mbp for extra protection if I need it.
1. thoughout waking hours
2. nope. Macbook Air, MacBook, 12 and 15" G4 Powerbooks
3. All around the house: sprawled on the couch with a cup of tea or coffee nearby. In the kitchen. Standing by the back door waiting for the UPS guy to show up. On the porch. In the yard under a tree. Once in awhile, in bed, although usually I'm ten seconds from unconscious when I kill the lights on the first floor and head upstairs. At other people's houses when they ask to see it and I remember to take it along.
I have a Belkin case, the Grip Vue one. Works for me. I don't have to worry if I set it down for a minute on a damp countertop, for instance.

I have both a 3G iPad and 2010 MBP.
I use iPad everywhere I go, including bed & bathroom.
I use the MBP primarily for iOS development and some design work.
I have the Apple iPad case, and love it, but I've noticed the color seems to be fading a lot. It's now almost gray.

90% do use it on the loo, but only 35% will admit to it.

2. Yes, but my MBP has turned more into a desktop computer as I no longer have the need to tote it around. My next computer will likely be a Mac Mini or iMac
3. Work, home, in bed, in the car for streaming music (iPad has unlimited data while iPhone doesn't). I usually carry the iPad with me wherever I go.
