1. Surf on the Couch :
Let's start with the most obvious use for the iPad. Have you ever been watching TV and wondered where you'd seen a particular actor before? Having IMDB, Wikipedia and the rest of the web at your fingertips from the comfort of your couch can be a wonderful thing.
2. Mobile Gaming :
The iPad was already a great gaming machine, with the ability to use the gyroscope and accelerometer to take portable gaming to a whole new level. The iPad 2 added to this with the ability to play augmented reality games, which makes gaming a great use for the iPad. And with the iPad 3's Retina Display, the graphics can even compete with console games. The Best Action/Arcade Games for the iPad
3. eReader :
The ability to read eBooks from Apple's iBooks, Amazon's Kindle and Barnes and Noble's Nook certainly makes the iPad one of the most versatile eReaders on the market. But don't forget the great newspaper and magazine content, like The Daily from News Corp., which is hoping to redefine the daily newspaper for the digital age.
4. Recipe Book :
The size and portability of the iPad makes it great for any room in the house, including the kitchen. There are tons of great cooking apps, such as recipes from Epicurious and Whole Foods Market.
5. Photo Album :
It's one thing to carry around a bunch of photos on your iPhone, it is a totally different thing when you can display them on a 9.7" screen. You can easily store thousands of photographs on the lowest end iPad, and even display them as a slideshow. How much memory does your iPad need?
6. GPS :
A great use for the iPad 4G model is as a GPS replacement. With an Assisted-GPS chip, the iPad can keep you from ever being lost. And the Maps app introduced in iOS 6.0 includes hands free turn-by-turn directions with data from TomTom.
7. Portable TV :
This little-known use for the iPad can be great for parents that often find themselves at soccer games and tennis matches but might want to catch up on their television. Through the use of Sling Media's Sling Box, you'll never be without television. Shop for Sling Box
8. Home Stereo :
One of the first things I recommend to new iPad users is to enable Home Sharing on iTunes and their iPad. This will allow you to play all of your music (and movies) on your iPad without actually loading them onto the device. And with the Digital AV Adapter, you can hook your iPad into your TV and get your music through your home theaters speakers. This definitely makes Home Sharing one of the best uses for the iPad.
9. Connect the iPad to Your TV :
The iPad has a lot of great entertainment value, including the ability to stream HD video and play high-quality games. But what about watching it on the big screen? There a several methods to hook your iPad up to your HDTV, including using AirPlay to wirelessly connect the iPad to Apple TV. And most solutions work with both video and sound, so you can really get the full HD experience. Find out how to connect your iPad to your TV
10. Say Goodbye to Premium Cable :
Have you ever wanted to ditch premium cable? The ability to stream Netflix and Hulu Plus directly to your HDTV means you can replace your premium channels without being forced to watch movies on a smaller screen. And considering the amount of television available on those services, some people could dump cable completely.
11. Family Entertainment :
When you combine Apple's rigorous inspection of each app with the parental controls found in their iOS devices and the thousands of great games and apps on the iPad, you get the perfect family entertainment system. The iPad is great for family vacations when you need to entertain the kids in the backseat. Not only will they get access to movies, they can play games for far cheaper than most portable gaming machines.
12. Business :
The iPad is increasingly being used in the business, especially for those who must conduct their business while on the move, like nurses and doctors. Between the many different business-related apps in the app store and the ability to hit the web, it is not to hard to find great uses for the iPad in the workplace.
13. Computer Replacement :
Between its ability to hit Facebook, read Email and browse the web, the iPad can replace the laptop for many people. Apps like Apple's Pages and Numbers and the ability to hook up a keyboard via Bluetooth makes it a great computer on the go. And now that you can set up an iPad without a PC and use iCloud to make a back up, the iPad can actually replace the home computer for some.
14. Personal Assistant :
The iPad 3 and iOS 6 adds a brand new use for the iPad: personal assistant. Siri can be a great little assistant, performing tasks from setting setting up meetings on your calender, finding nearby restaurants to eat at and even booking reservations for you. The best part? Reminders. Siri makes it incredibly easy to set a reminder, which is great if you too often find yourself forgetting to do something.
15. Second Monitor :
Here's a neat trick: using your iPad as a second (or even third) monitor for your laptop or desktop PC. Through apps like DisplayLink and AirDIsplay, you can use your iPad as if it were an extra monitor connected to your PC. These apps work by connecting with a software package you download to your PC and then sending your iPad the video signal over Wi-Fi, and while they might not be quite as good as a real monitor, they actually perform quite well.
16. Wi-Fi Hotspot :
The 4G version of the iPad 3 on Verizon has a really nice feature for those who like their Internet on the go: free tethering. This means you can use your iPad as a Wi-Fi Hotspot, and because it is 4G, you can get super fast speeds. The one caveat: tiered data plans can get expensive if you download too much data, and streaming HD video will use up the allocated data very quickly.
17. Video Conferencing :
Did you know that FaceTime works on the iPad? In fact, it's actually better on an iPad because you have a bigger display. FaceTime works on the iPad by using your email address as a phone number, allowing anyoen else with an iPhone or iPad to 'call' you.
18. Video Camera :
While the original iPad didn't have a camera, and the iPad 2's back-facing camera wasn't the highest quality, the camera on the iPad 3 is actually pretty good. And not only can you take video with it, there are a number of different apps that will let you edit video, including a version of iMovie for the iPad.
19. Be a Musician :
For musicians, there are a ton of helpful apps that range from a digital piano to a guitar effects processor. You can even turn your iPad into a DJ station. Not a musician but want to be one? You can even use the iPad to learn an instrument thanks to nifty gadgets like ION's Piano Studio.
20. Control a Robot :
The coolest use for an iPad? Controlling a robot. Double Robotics has created an iPad robot, which is essentially an iPad stand with wheels that you can control remotely.
