Public Places You Use Your iPad?

Does a 64GB non-3G and a Porsche Cayenne count?

No only poser BMW 3 series count.

Lol, I didn't bold it, the fitz did
and I am totally kidding, I'd never use it while driving.

haha okay good just clearing things up

I don't think there has been a place where I haven't used it. I have it with me all the time -- company meetings, customer meetings, coffee shops, malls, restaurants, book stores, car, park, etc.

I don't get too many people gawking over it. I've heard a few kids say, "Hey, that's an iPad." A few adults have asked what device was I using. I would say most of the people are too into themselves to notice what I am doing.

Actually, the most attention I got was with my co-workers (engineer-types if it matters). There was a mish-mash of opinions on whether it was worth it or not. I would say it was near 50/50 on the would's and would not's of buying it.

I've used mine all over.....classes, meeting at work, etc. Most people don't really care about it, other do and want a demo.

Have it in my messenger bag, so pretty much everywhere I go. I have the Kindle app on it, so it virtually replaces my Kindle

Take my 3G everywhere and yes many people have asking about it / wanna demo etc. I am in sales so it has been a great rapport builder and friend maker!

I use mine everywhere, even when I don't need to use it.

I drove by a gas station yesterday, saw a guy in a rusty Ford pickup arguing with his girlfriend, so even though my BMW's tank was 80% full, I decided to top it off just to hear what they were fighting about. Turns out they were bickering about money problems, how she feels he needs to get a job, etc. The baby is crying in the back seat, they're wearing dirty clothes.

So I open up the door to my shiny new BMW and start pumping the gas and she looks over at me with this "I wish I was married to that guy" look and he looks over at me with this "I hate this bastard" look and I turn around, go back in the car, grab the iPad, and start using it. They stopped fighting and got silent. It was priceless. Salvation Army parking lots, WalMart eyecare centers, McDonald's drivethru windows. Everywhere is a great place to whip out the iPad.

I've got a 3G so I can understand how some of you wi-fi types likely can't relate.
