My iPad gets a ton of usage. It's almost replaced paper for me. Instead of sketching out notes and ideas on paper, I use Adobe Ideas on the iPad.. I get a permanent record and it's even better than paper (bigger canvas, colors, etc). This is about the only "content creation" I do with it, but a very essential activity.. I'm getting a lot more done thanks to this.
Beyond that, it can't be beat for checking e-mail and the Web just before going to sleep/after waking up, in the bathroom, or while sitting on the couch.
I've also started to read a lot more. I haven't had any weight issues with it at all, but I have a 9 month old baby so I'm used to holding a ton of weight in awkward positions for ages.. :-)
Looks cool - a bit like Infinote (which I have, but don't use incredibly often) but with a cuter design. Since it's free, I'll get it.
I doubt I'd stick with something like that, though. I want to write notes, scribble things, underline things, draw circles and lines around stuff, etc.. not type. So a sketching type app always works better for me.
You can sketch inside of a Popplet. I don't think of this as an app so much as an organizer. If I were Apple, I'd acquire this and let Files from various apps populate a Popplet, with the App "zooming" to view or edit each file.
Something like that would pretty much be the full equivalent of Courier.

Try using Popplet as a mind mapper. This has the potential to subsume the entire functionality portrayed in the Microsoft Courier ad.
