I don't think it would add anything to the workflow where I work. When code is shared we usually just get it out of SVN individually, add comments and commit.

When it's collaborative it's usually about database structure or more abstract programming (structure of an app, or logic) and we have a whiteboard for that. PERHAPS there could be a collaborative virtual whiteboard app.

That might be the kind of thing where an Apple tablet succeeds. A shared whiteboard and voice chat, so you can sit in the sun and move UML around while chatting to other coders about a problem? EBook readers are no where near the functionality required for that kind of high end dialogue (involving real time collaborative documents and voice chat). That will come from the netbook side of the industry. Ebook devices have too much focus on price constraint.
