I really think a smartphone is a far more useful, flexible and handy mobile device. A tablet would not allow me OTOH to do useful real work as a laptop or desktop.
That said, I can see quite a few areas where it would beat an smartphone to me if I had one: to draw and paint (though still not as great as, say, Wacom's older pressure and tilt sensitive "tablets"), to read ebooks, browse the web and watch videos comfortably and as a digital photo frame and alarm clock while idle. I'm not even sure that typing in a larger but not precise keyboard would be any faster than swyping over a tiny smartphone keyboard...
