Apple Reports First Quarter Results: $13.06 Billion Net Profit
Quite impressive indeed. I was particularly interested in the insane iPad numbers, which surprised me.<p>I thought I would use this opportunity to ask the HN community: what do you think people use their iPads for? Honest question - I have had one for a long time now and barely use it as it sits in this awkward middle between a "full" PC and a smartphone. With so many millions of iPads sold and Tim Cook saying "There Will Come A Day When The Tablet Market Is Larger Than The PC Market” I am trying to form an informed opinion but just fail to see what the use case is for the iPad (perhaps reading a book? casual web browsing? netflix/youtube?).<p>So what do you think the future of tablets holds? Link to studies on the topic are much appreciated as well!
