Be careful with that underlying assumption that touchscreens imply capability of note-taking with a stylus. None of the current 10" tablets offer a digitizer. They have capacitive touchscreens, which do not allow precise note-taking. The Thinkpad Tablet will be the first one (10") that will implement a Wacom digitizer.
Anyway, if you decide a tablet will do the job better than an e-reader, then I'll advise not to choose the (current) iPad. You'll be better served with some of the competitors, in particular regarding the outputs (USB, SDcard, etc.).

As Billi said, PB90x have both of these features (text-to-speech and open DRM-protected PDF). Furthermore, I read a few times that the text-to-speech is (far) more natural on PB903 than on M90 (at least for English and German).
