Yes, I utilize Families and host of other apps. It was a gift that has made my research more flexible. You have to keep a open mind and remember it is not a laptop replacement. I have to be honest, I only use my laptop for syncing my data and indexing my PDF/ jpeg resources.

With the use of drop box, I can pull up a PDF file or image and Evernotes let's me take notes with geo tag. Mixed with my iPhone I'm better off. The better the apps get, the less I use my laptop.

Hope that helps.
