*Anyone* else could press the magic button. :P
Early results are very good as an electronic notetaker. Extremely responsive. Convenient size compromise. Display (with external lighting) is really nice. Sending notes to Evernote is instantaneous, and results in .gif files that can easily be printed as pdfs off my Mac.
It was very easy to boot to English and install the other little apps people have created. The light, minimal email app works, although with any virtual keyboard, you're not going to want to tap out a very long message back. But it's nice knowing you can check/receive in a pinch.
Even in Chinese, I figured out how to snap a picture and annotate it. It connected to our secured wifi at home just fine, although I find it regularly drops and needs to be told to connect again. (Though, it always connects back up again quickly when told.) And since there aren't really apps that sit and use the internet dedicatedly, the dropping out isn't a problem. The one time I tried to send a note to Evernote, but the wifi wasn't connected, it said, "Wifi not connected. Do you want to connect?" etc. so I didn't have to leave what I was doing to get my connection up and running first, then send to Evernote. It did it all as part of my attempt to send to Evernote, which is a nice touch I wouldn't have expected.
So so far, the big thing for me is finding a way to add content by a method other than the official Sync for Windows, since while I'm traveling I'll only have a Mac with me.
But right now I'm going to put some pdfs on the old fashioned way via the tablet PC (which is several years old, running Windows 7 and installed the Eee Sync software no problems). Then I'll get a sense for what pdf annotation is like.
