On several occasions, I've used my iPad as the primary device, mainly since I had no other choice since I had forgotten my laptop at work, but what I realized was that the limitation wasn't the apps, but the lack of real multitasking.
I was watching Netflix and an iMessage comes in. Do I click on the iMessage to reply and interrupt my flow or do I ignore it. Hey, look an mail notification came in, looks semi-urgent, should I interrupt my movie to respond? I ended up using my phone as a mail / chat client and my iPad as solely a movie player. At the end of the day, I still love my iPad despite it's shortcomings.
