Truthfully, I'll be getting a Vita before thinking about one of these. Games need to be immersive, complex and/or read like hypertext novels to hold my interest, and Angry Birds on a larger screen can't cover that.
Now that the PSP's controls have been sorted on the Vita, I'm hoping for updated versions of SMT: Nocturne, Persona 4, Ico, and a host of Japanese horror franchises (SH2, Fatal Frame 1-4, etc.). No one else likes Rule of Rose, but I'd kill for that on a portable. The battles are clumsy, but I look at games as a writer and musician, and RoR feels a collab between Dorothea Tanning, Remedios Varo, Bela Bartok and Edward Gorey.
An iPad would be useful to me as a musician, but not as a writer. I don't like the resolution of the screen or the word processor's editing UI.
I'm not a pure consumer -- I get ideas and have to write them out in the middle of watching films, listening to music and reading books -- so neither the Fire nor any other Android Tablet is a viable solution for multi-tasking. So far, a Win8 tablet with a matte IPS sounds like the best compromise for users like me.
($500 non-Apple tablets too expensive? Then be patient and wait for them to get remaindered if a KF won't scratch your itch.)
