I used it as a travel device for watching movies, web browsing and email. Last summer we took a 12 day trip out of country and it was great having the tablet along. Play games in the morning; or check email at the hotel - stuff like that. I mostly watch movies when on the plane.
-
Kind of wish the display was a bit better - figure I'll upgrade to one of the new 1080p devices in 6 or 8 months. Right now I'm thinking that galaxy tab 7.7 will make a good book-reader.
I use the pad and dock quite often for school work.
Other than that, reading news mainly and browsing through forums and the web.

90+% of my time on the tablet is spent either browsing, or catching up on feeds in Google Reader, and sometimes both (opening up articles for further reading from the reader feeds). I'll do that while I'm sitting on the couch watching TV, etc. The other 10% is occasional light gaming basically.
I am an IT Manager / Network Administrator and I use the TF constantly at work for managing the network, servers, client machines, etc... as well as for browsing, games, instant messaging, and other personal uses as well. Generally speaking though, I could do my job entirely from my tablet from anywhere in the world where there is an internet connection (or cell service)... unless of course is one of those odd days where I actually have to pull a cable or physically move a computer...
I've replaced my laptop with my tablets. I do everything work and home related on them.

Pretty much the same here... I use it at work to pass the boring times. The only thing I don't do is work on mods.

It's my new daily driver i only break out the macbook pro for photo work or DVD creation, everything else is done on this beauty. TF101 B50 KB Dock B60 stock never rooted.
Web browsing and a lot of reading. As a budding developer, I read a lot technical books and its easy for me to learn new things and then rdp into my home system and do try them right then and there. Also used to do sys admin stuff when I can't be bothered to get out of bed.
i have just about replaced my laptop with my tf, i swear its never more than a few feet from me and very honestly in my hand at least 50 percent of my day doing everything from checking my emai and texting, to schoolwork and media consumption. and playing games of course,,,lol
i dnt however see a problem with this thread even if there was another thread that asked the same question... it was older and answered by different people. i dnt see anything wrong with asking a general question in the general or q&a i thought this is where it was supposed to be posted...meh whatever
I use it for pretty much everything... My HP ProBook 4510s has left my house like 2/3 times in the past 6/7 months XD
As an IT student, I use it in college the whole day, without having to worry about the battery, I can do everyting... and since I run my own virtualisation servers, I don't even have to use the computers at school anymore... I just need an internet coneectin, and I can use all the power of my servers if I need more power
But like I seaid, I use it for everything, reading/writing, browsing/getting the latest news, watching movies/clips, messeging............. What can't I do on it?
got mine like 3 days ago
i use it for college work im into IT as well. watching movies, surf the web,watching videos so yeah multi media stuff pretty much
im still looking for a cheap keyboard they are still around 100 dollars fudge that

damn. i would buy one if its around 40 dollars. i dont know these keyboards are so expensive pff
I use my transformer mainly for browsing the web and also loads of YouTube and multimedia content through the many apps available.
My desktop has become secondary ever since I got the tablet a few months ago. Where ever I am bar the shower, I always got the tab close by....lol. its great for when u just on the sofa watching TV or whatever and just to have it within reach.

As the topic speaks for itself, what do you guys use your tablet for? Been several months since I bought it now it seems to be of a bare use. Gaming device, multimedia( movie & photo collection) or education? I wanna use my device at its best

My wife has complained how much I use my Xoom. Maybe i'm a tech junkie, but I love this thing.
Most favorite uses:
1. Watch movies/tv shows
2. Read books
3. Read comics
4. download torrents
My primary uses (and the apps I use) are:
* Web browsing (browser, Chrome, Boat)
* Reading Comics (Komik)
* Watching saved movies (MX, RockPlayer)
* Streaming movies (Netflix)
* email (Gmail)
* Twitter (TweetCaster)
* Backup (second string) laptop using keyboard case (Splashtop, iTap)
I have plenty of content/apps/etc. to (but don't necessarily want to): Read books (Google Books, Kindle), Read magazines (Play Magazines), Do light gaming (Madden, Crosscourt Tennis, Temple Run, Angry Birds, etc.), Attend lectures for online classes (Flash Player), Listen to music (Mortplayer), Edit images (Photoshop Touch)
Mine gets used for everything at the moment, as my laptop destroyed itself lmao

Stream TV from my dreambox, look at movies, surf the web, play games and alarm-clock
lots of stuff..... the list goes on and on!

I use my Xoom for just about everything these days. It lets me get away from my desk. Most important uses are e-mail on the go, connectbot to log into and administer servers from the road, web-browsing, callendar, contacts list, note taking, etc. The only thing that I really wish it had was a better word processor, but I even use it for editing documents when I am away from the office with the apps that are available.
The other thing it is good for is eating up a day or two of time every now and then when I decide to try to upgrade to a new rom. I don't do it often enough and it atkes me a while to catch back up on what is going on in the rom world :silly:

Same here.

I'm trying to use mine as a desktop replacement, but I find there are some limitations that hiner that, in particular I seem to have issues with dropbox sync and quick office pro seems to have a number of limitations when working with large documents and spreadsheets. Great for kindle, evernote and wasting hours on Great Little War Game though
Unfortunatelly I did not use my Xoom much, so I just sold it a couple of weeks ago. I only had it for about 7 months.
Thought I would use it for surfing the web from the sofa or while travelling. Indeed I just wasted some time with crappy games or left it switched of for days. Some of my tasks required a pc so I did all my surfing and stuff there. I was a little sad giving it away but it was just too expensive and has a too high loss of value for leaving it in the box. Now I got an ultrabook wich fits my requirements better.
Reading books, gaming (CS FTW!), surfing the web, watching movies and soon to be used in university
I use it to look at p0rn LOL!!
Ok on a serious note, I barely use it. Only when I read manga, which the XOOM outdones itself for that simple task.
Gaming, YouTube, and browsing/emails.

Use my xoom for everything;
browsing,
email,
GPS (can mount it in my 4wd)
maps (live in outback Australia and go bush a lot),
videos,
movies,
work (download, fill in and upload about 150 pdf files a week),
lately getting into e-books,
the list goes on but I won't ,
my laptop is gathering dust in the corner (only used when I need to use adb).
Because of the great work of Team EOS I also get to update roms and this satisfied the geek in me.
Also love the portability; on a flight last week I could hold the xoom up to the window and get a GPS fix and then see what we were flying over on a map.
Hi Everyone I'm thinking of trading up the Transformer Prime for a Nexus 7. I got one for my mom, and I just like the size and feel in my hands vs the larger 10.1". My plan is to use to quickly take notes at meetings and the web.
My question is what does everyone primarily use their Nexus 7 for?

Using which App(s) ?
Mine gets used for pretty much everything, web browsing, films/tv, music, games, I've even done some java and python programming on it.
I use mine for email and bedroom internet surfing when at home.
When away, I use Google Wallet and games.
Google News/RSS reading via "Reader HD" app (Awesome!!)
Browsing
IMDB app lots while watching TV/movies
Kindle app reading books
A bit of Gmail, though I also do that on my BlackBerry
That's about it I think
EDIT as for location, I use it at home on my couch, bed, patio, etc. Also use it at my mom's place when I'm over visiting. That's about it.
I mainly use it to kill time on the tube/trains. Read books, listen to music, study my notes and play games. When I have a connection, I also use it to check emails, bus timetables etc.
I use it for internet browsing on the couch, watching youtube vids, playing games here and there, bringing to a friends house to play music from, using as an e-book when on lunch at work, setting alarms at work, etc.
Books music fun toy games and of course...

At the moment ? Photobucketplunder on Reddit :laugh:
80% - Stream movies from my networked hard drive - BSPlayer
15% - Browse
4% - Check e-mails
1% - Other stuff
My most common daily use is for reading news. Specifically the Currents app (love it), Reader HD, Reddit and Pocket. That, plus a bit of social network and gaming and it pretty much consumes me. As for productivity, I have a Personal and Work homescreen that each has corresponding Gmail and Tasks widgets. Love this device.
Flipboard (no need for browers, look very nice)
Tunein
Movie
Game
Book
Use most in order from top.
Believe it or not...work. I do some IT consulting on the side and I needed something to allow me to work in an emergency but was small enough to carry with me anywhere and everywhere. I own a full license for Teamviewer which works well on Android. I also have email addresses at 4 client locations so this is my "central hub" for work and personal mail. I love that I can VPN into the sites, access file shares, remote into servers and workstations, etc. (Just made a hell of a lot more sense than an iPad) I also do my accounting on it and can print my invoices right on site as I have the printers setup with Google cloud print and with PrinterShare it's no problem to send my PDF invoices right to the printers.
Oh, and the other usual crap...Netflix, web browsing, and browsing several forums with Tapatalk. Before I forget, I also manage my stocks with Ameritrade.
There's more, but that's the gist of it.

tldr.....i use it as a reader
I bought the Nexus 7 mainly for watching movies when I'm traveling. I also have an iPad 2 but find it a bit large/heavy. The Nexus 7 is great in that aspect.
Netflix when it's slow at work, Reddit and Facebook at home

I have the Prime and it hasn't been touched since I got my 7.
Using it for music via bluetooth, taking notes at work meetings, video chat with my girl when I am traveling, access work cpu via Splashtop to write up orders, etc.
The 7 is absolutely perfect for my use. I use my Gnex only when the 7 is charging. Which isn't often.

I mostly use mine passively for media consumption, web browsing & casual gaming. However the split screen pane in gmail when using a Nexus 7 means it's pretty good for emails too.
I'm thinking of purchasing a 32Gb Nexus 7 primarily to backup a lot of my photos and as a viewer for them. Obviously I'd be using it for other things such as web, email, maybe a few games etc.
What do you use yours for? Does anyone else use the device as a backup for photos and maybe some music as well?
Web browsing, tapatalk, movies, games

For reading mostly, and social media. But really, I have 3K books on there, so I'm set for life.
I have a lot of books on mine, technical and novels. I browse the web, a little youtube, and I have a lot of magazine subscriptions.
I have a really long commute so I put my N7 in a windshield mount to listen to podcasts. I watch netflix on it, read my motorcycle magazine, look at internets, text, and use the dock so I can use the N7 as a GPS in the work truck.
Browsing, social networking, emails, chat, light gaming. Nothing really extensive.

I made a mount for the company van so I can use it for music and GPS, at home web, email, music, movies and games. We just bought 2 more for my small business to use as credit card terminals. pay for themselves in what I'll save on fees in one month.
I used to have the original Transformer, I'm glad I got the Nexus 7 its the perfect size.
.. On a further note just figured out The Nexus 7 doesn't have a 'headset' jack, only headphone. so I won't be able to use it for credit card terminals. I'll be returning those 2 unless I find a way. any info other than what i have found here on XDA about it?
Playing games As dead trigger with ps3 remote ..carrying a 64gig USB full of movies for kids to watch wherever we st..

Taking notes at work. My boss is a micro manager so I can take detailed notes with my stylus, 7Notes + Evernote and share that folder with him. He can see what I'm doing without the face time and I can get more real work done.
Watching recorded TV shows: I have a MythTV box which record shows to watch whenever I want. With using Handbrake I can schedule the transcoding of the MP4 files MythTV creates for me. Then copy them to my Nexus 7.
Playing games, right now addicted to SurvivorCraft.
News, Forum and Twitter reader: The Nexus 7 actually is a more comfortable platform to do casual reading than a desktop pc. I love the form factor, it's light weight so easy to hold when on the couch or in bed.
Music: Pandora and my MP3s. Only keep the top 20 albums I have on it though, not all my music.
I haven't gotten into using it for photos yet, as the camera on it isn't that good. I'm an amateur photographer, have a NIkon D40 + lenses and stuff. I prefer to view my pictures from an online source, or on my Myth box which is in the living room.
If you want to use it as a media backup device I would recommend a OTG USB cable and external hard drive with it's own power source. I think I read in another thread the Nexus7 doesn't have enough power for a hard drive via USB.
My Nexus 10 arrives tomorrow morning and I can't sleep, it's like I'm waiting for santa. It was a tough choice between this and the iPad 4 (it still is, if I should keep it or send it back and jump ship to Apple). Most of the reviews say it's a great device, but the number 1 complain seems to be app support, as they aren't optimized for the screen resolution or there aren't enough of them.
How is the situation today? I am mostly interested in watching movies and surfing the internet, I don't care for games, really, maybe something very casual while I'm on the toilet.
Some apps and games look bad on Nexus (because of high resolution). But you can try the game in my signature It should work fine on Nexus 10.

Some of the apps are amazing. If your a Twitter user, drop the $2 and buy Falcon. Its an amazing interface. TapatalkHD with its bugs is useful as well. Pocketcasts has a great tablet interface, amazon looks good, flipboard is nice as well. Its really not as bad as everyone says the apos are.
The biggest shortfall of the Nexus 10 is the screen (if you get one w/o lightbleed do a dance) and the battery life. If you can look past those your golden. Having features like HDMI out and OTG make it an ultimate media device and the front firing speakers beat anything on the market. (With some fine tuning). The experience I'd say is phenomenal, if you can look past the reboots on occasion and the slowdowns that can occur with Android.
Edit - to expand I cannot say I regularly use any app that isn't tablet/holo optimized. Pandora is the biggest offender, along with Tasker and Root Explorer, its sad how they refuse to optimize the apps. Otherwise Google Music, G+, email, gmail, keep, mantano, falcon, YouTube, pocketcasts, notes, mizuu, flixster, Imdb, fandango... All have nice tablet interfaces. Google voice also sucks, but they aren't updating it because it will be replaced soon.
