Really? I could think of an infinite number of ways to use an iPad to turn a 30-minute mind -numbing cardio warm-up into a period of productivity. Personally, I use the time to respond to e-mail, read books (iBooks), keep up with current events, surf industry related sites, etc.
When I was in the Marine Corps, the Commandant had a rather crude saying, "education by defecation". The idea being that we all spend at least 5-10 minutes a day on the shitter so rather than wasting that time why not pickup a service manual (no iPads back then) and learn everything there is to know about not only your own occupational specialty but also that of your peers (may save your life and those around you one day). Same applies at the gym, you can choose to stare off into space for 30 minutes or spend the time bettering yourself in one way or another.
