That is true, but I don't think any tablet can replace a regular netbook or laptop, not for heavy IT purposes. Motorola Atrix, which is a cellphone, is getting close tough, but I would not rely on that or replace my Ubuntu laptop anyway, besides Android does not run MS-SQL Server Management Studio.

It depends. For technical books or poetry, you need bigger screens. Small screens re-adjust text and images making reading impossible or difficult. That's why I can't use my Kindle 3 or Galaxy Tab for my SQL books. I've also found that Kindle handles technical books better. I can expand or enlarge images, I cannot with Nook (Android, Nook Color and Nook 1st gen) that is also vital on technical documents.
