Is it weird to carry around an iPad...

And an iPhone with you every day? I guess I just like both. The iPhone is mostly used as just a phone, where the iPad is the one I keep most of my information on.

I do use my 5s to check forums and other random things but the iPad is more convenient for anything reading/video related.

It doesn't make me a weirdo to keep both in my purse.... Right?

I agree with Karen. It's not weird at all. ;)

I sure hope not. I just got off the phone with Verizon and I might be trading my Note3 (Edge Plan) for a iPad Air2 64gb (GOLD Edition Edge Plan) next weekend....SMILE

Thanks guys. I've just found that I've got use for both and don't like leaving home without either one.

I go through phones like crazy so I got a bigger storage iPad. I'll be keeping that way longer than I will be my 5s.

I've seen people listening to iPads at the gym.... Not weird at all to just carry it around.

It's not weird unless you feel so. In other words you have to overcome that mental barrier.

Of course it's fine. They are both devices for different kinds of uses. If you only had an iPad, then you couldn't make phone calls. And if you only had an iPhone then you couldn't utilize apps that need a bigger screen, whatever those are in your particular case.

Of course it's weird. Who would do such an odd thing? But, hey, who's looking? [puts on devil's advocate face] :D

I think its fine if your workplace allows it. Plenty of people in my work campus do this. The potential challenge that having an iPad brings is distraction from work.

The only weird part is caring what anyone thinks. You live life once. Do what makes you happy.
