Post what you use the tablet for, and why you have to make it work. Maybe we can get some cool ideas shared here.

My story is that I'm an early adopter, so I got the Iconia to replace my laptop. I know I am bringing on some frustrations, but I already had an ultraportable with no DVD tray, so I was halfway there already. I am loosing some office-type functionality, but I am gaining so much more that it was worth the try.

Software: Using Documents to go (full version). Couldn't pass it up for $15. I have HP's print and PDF apps, and evernote. Also love the Pulse app for information overload

Hardware/accessories: init neoprene case, Griffin loop stand, and gearhead mini sized USB keyboard.

Docs to go full. Copilot maps-don't always have data connection.
Yellow pages. Cnet news app. Android central app. Stitcher app.
Angry birds. LOL cats. Pandora. Paper toss. Twit. And I use my Galaxy S as a hotspot if I'm
Away from faster wifi.
 
Mine is more of a entertainment device....browsing the web-gotta have my flash content, games to keep kids occupied....I have the dropbox app on my Droid and my tab with the "SMS sync" app on my tab to receive and send text messages from my phone...luv that functionality
 
My Iconia completely replaced my laptop. I don't use it at all anymore. I mainly use it for the following:

1) Heavy web browsing with flash. I use 4 different browsers each with their various pros/cons: Stock Browser, Dolphin Browser HD, Opera Mobile, Miren Browser
2) Netflix/Hulu/Desktop Media streaming through PlayOn
3) Gaming (Words with Friends, a few Tegra 2 games, SNES/Genesis Emulators that work surprisingly well)
4) News content with CNN/CNBC tablet apps
5) Charging my EVO on the go when I don't have access to a computer USB port or wall charger. I've found this is the perfect combo for making sure my EVO doesn't die while using it to tether the Iconia.
6) Light use for work e-mail/doc reading and editing

I see this tab only getting better with native USB support when Android 3.1 comes out. I'm stoked.
