I never saw the point of a tablet.

I always take a small 8" Samsung Galaxy Tab with me when I travel. It's
great for watching video while I'm in an airport or flying. I could use
my phone for that, but I've gotten into the habit of using a separate
device so that my phone still has battery life when I arrive. I also
travel with a high capacity battery charger, but that wasn't always the
case, and I still like the larger screen and the fact that I'm not using
my phone.

While at home, the tablet is on the coffee table in the living room.
When I'm watching the news and they say something happened in Wiseacre,
Wyoming, I pick up the tablet to see where the heck that is. I came from
a small town and I've always been interested in other small towns.

The tablet also serves as a secondary remote for the TV, the stereo, the
Roku, and a source for commercial-free music via Bluetooth.

As others have pointed out, you're probably not going to be a content
*creator* on a device like that, but it's excellent as a content
consumer.
