Personally, I’m not overly interested in what the iPad can’t do – that was one of the subthemes of the above-mentioned column. The device will not succeed or fail in the marketplace based on what it can not do, but rather what it does well, what it does better than a laptop and better than a smartphone.

As smart as the folks at Apple are, even those seven tasks that the company claims the iPad does better than a laptop and better than a smartphone (Web browsing, e-mail, photo-viewing, video-watching, music listening, games, and reading eBooks) are not likely going to be all the ways iPad owners apply the device.
Accordingly, we’re asking our readers to tell us what you think you’ll use it for. Tell us what kind of plans so you have for the device.
As I noted above, a few of you have already begun doing so in our article comments, but I’m asking you to send me an e-mail with your thoughts. We’ll take the best submissions and publish them on TMO next week.
Send your notes to the e-mail address in my byline (where it is automagically hidden from spambots by the magic of Javascript), and remember: Succinctness is next to Steveliness.
