I do a lot of editing, and I tried to do it on the iPad, but without a mouse it was too much hassle trying select phrases or blocks of text, or to put your cursor in the middle of a word to change a letter. Some of that was solved by using a bluetooth keyboard (to give me access to arrow keys), but it was still slower and more painful going than just sitting at my desktop.
The best tablet solution I found for editing was the Toshiba Thrive*, which has a USB port. I'd connect my bluetooth keyboard, plug in my USB mouse, and away I went.
(But then I was frustrated with not being able to use the same software on the tablet that I use on my desktop--or at least sync my documents easily between the two different programs--so I replaced the Thrive with a MacBook Air, and gave up on tablet editing till the tablet OSes and desktop OSes finally merge into each other.)
(This was the 10" Thrive. I see they announced a 7" model today. I don't know if the 7" model is going to have the same full-size USB input as the 10".)
