1. Surfing the internet.
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? Or perhaps a show lets loose with a strange fact and you wanted to know if it was actually true. Having IMDB, Wikipedia and the rest of the web at your fingertips from the comfort of your couch can be a wonderful thing.
2. Check Facebook, Twitter and Email.
The iPad also makes a great way to keep up with all of your friends. And if you like to update Facebook or tweet during shows, it can be the perfect companion.
You can even connect your iPad to Facebook, which will make it easy to share everything from websites to photos. Are you nuts for Twitter? There are a number of dedicated Twitter clients, and like Facebook, you can connect your iPad to your Twitter account.
3. Play a Game.
With each generation, the ability to game on the iPad gets better and better. The iPad 2 included the front-facing and back-facing cameras, which made playing augmented reality games possible. The iPad 3 brought the gorgeous Retina Display, which allows higher resolution graphics than most game machines.
Recently, Apple has added a brand new graphics engine called Metal, which takes games to the next level. And while you may get a lot of other use out of the iPad, gaming is definitely the most entertaining. which makes gaming a great use for the iPad.
4. Read a Book.
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. It's also one of the lightest and thinnest, which is great if you love to read in bed. And let's not forget newspapers and magazines. The Newsstand on the iPad now supports over a hundred magazines and newspapers, including the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, TIME magazine and People Magazine among many others.
5. Help in the Kitchen.
The size and portability of the iPad makes it great for any room in the house, including the kitchen. The iPad can't toast bread or boil an egg (yet!), but there are plenty of other uses for the iPad in the kitchen. We can start with recipes from great apps like Epicurious and Whole Foods Market. These make a great way to spice up your meals.
6. 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.
7. Listen to Music.
Even if you don't have a large music collection loaded on your iPad, there are plenty of great ways to stream music to your iPad, including the ability to create unique radio stations that are customized to the music you love. The iPad has good speakers, but more importantly, it also supports Bluetooth. This makes it a great match with wireless headphones, and with many new television soundbars supporting Bluetooth, the iPad can essentially become your home stereo.
8. Take Photos and Record Video.
The back-facing camera on the iPad is surprisingly good. It's not quite as good as the iPhone 6, but the iPad Air 2's 8 megapixel camera can compete with most smartphone cameras. But what really makes the iPad a great camera is the beautiful 9.7-inch display. You'll know you have a great shot lined up on it, and you don't have to miss the action because you are staring at a tiny screen.
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.
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.
