Anyone else find their iPad to be a smoker's best friend?

I use mine constantly. I've read a huge number of books that I never would have read because it makes it so easy. I take it with me whenever we travel, and a laptop has become an afterthought.
I was a first-adopter, I had pre-ordered and it arrived on release day. I haven't put it down since.

We didnt preorder but we've had one since about a week after they were released. Ive used the hell out of it as well.

I think that's the first thing I ever bought when it first came out, sight-unseen. I'd had an ipod touch and loved it. Then I got an iphone. Loved it even more. With the iPad I was thinking "big iphone" and that was good enough for me to give it a shot. I was pleasantly surprised when it did so much more.
I may give the ipad 3 a shot when it comes out. The 2 didn't do anything I needed, but the 3 is supposed to be a quadcore monster. It should make all the keystroke lag go away. Being as Steve Jobs just died, they'll probably crawl right over his grave and adopt flash support, as well. The whole "no flash" thing was strictly an ongoing personal issue between him and adobe that's been going on since he put multiple fonts on the first Macintosh.

I was thinking the same thing about flash. Now that he's gone we may just see it on the new stuff. We skipped the 2 as well because it really isnt that much different than the first one but if numero 3 is gonna be that much better than I will likely upgrade.

To the OP, I do the same with mine. Sitting out on the deck enjoying a drink and a cigar with the ipad is excellent in my opinion.
