Place/receive phone calls: blackberry.
Read/reply to email: laptop/blackberry
PIM functions -- Address book, calendar, reminders, to-dos: laptop Outlook/Blackberry.
Watch videos: TV. Laptop.
View photos: not on my list.
Listen to MP3s: not on my list, though I have an iPod nano I typically pack along with my Bose QC3 headphones.
Play games: not on my list.
Surf the web: laptop
Write/Edit PC files: PC/laptop
Write code: PC/laptop

In short, all my computing needs are handled by my computer. My communication needs are handled by my communication device. I have a music player for music, though I don't use it much. I'd like a reader device for reading.

I realize this leaves me with:

1. Computer
2. Phone/Emailer
3. Music Player
4. ebook Reader

So be it.

Slightly back on topic to "which one should I buy", it looks like BooksOnBoard's price for the CyBook Gen 3 is higher than Bookeen's own retail price.
