i've owned 1, 2, , soon, 3. hold value pretty upgrading newer model inexpensive.

primary uses -web, email, apps, games. it's primary (non work) computing device. don't me wrong, i'd never without big ass 27" imac, general consumption of media, prefer slouching on couch or bed isn't comfortable our mbp , isn't possible imac.

i'd it's 80% surfing, email, movies, , google reader (via reeder). gaming percentage rising bit - still prefer 360 , ps3, ipad games cheaper.

started off 64gb ipad. upgraded 32gb ipad 2. upgraded 64gb ipad 3. wifi, no modem.

90% of time, 32gb plenty. it's sweet spot in pricing mind. when go on vacation stuff tv , movies. @ point find myself uninstalling apps make room - 64gb becomes essential again. don't need more space that.

don't tend use music player, when do, it's pretty @ home, use itunes home sharing feature access entire music library without having music on ipad - saves lots of space. away home i'd use iphone music, or itunes match.

edit: use lot plex. have plex / plex server hosting tv , movies. use plex client on ipad access (as plex clients on wifes mbp , our imac) content , watch tv , movies - both @ home, , via wifi using myplex.
