eReaders tend to focus on 1 while Touch pads like the iPad address 2 and 3. Tablet PC's address 2, 3 and 4.

Looking at this

I don't plan on getting iPad since it is not a good enough note taking solution, simply duplicates the web browsing/media playing I have on my Tablet PC/phone and is not well suited to an Enterprise IT environment. In any case Jobs has pronounced that stylus will not be supported so that rules out the iPad for me for the foreeable future.

I wonder what rationale the Saskatchewan government is using to justify acquiring lots of iPads that they didn't apply in the last couple of years when office tablet solutions were already available...

That's a question you have to think over. What made the iPad so succesful? Apple fanboys only account for a couple of millions, so no matter what people tell you, that's not the reason.
Could it be the speed and usability? Or the apps available for it? Or the 10+ hours usage time? Or the 9,7"4:3-ratio IPS screen? instant on? Or maybe the combination of all these reasons? Don't know, don't care. I just knows it works better than my old tablet.
