Android tablets and the iPad are basically gigantic smartphones. So anything a smartphone can do you can do on a tablet. Obviously they are not PCs, so there are many limitations. Of course you can sync with Outlook, though in some cases you may need a 3rd party add on (sometimes only contacts are synced, but not tasks and e-mails). Or you can go through Google mail, which is the easiest option for Android. What I do is I use a web based mail server and delete the e-mails on the server only after having downloaded them to all my devices.

The Apad is an Android 1.6 device --- not really recommended. It also won't have Android market on it, and you will have a hard time finding programs for it. The screen will be very low quality. The best deal at this time probably is the Nook color (you can get the Kindle app on it).
