I'm very interested in a tablet device eventually as well, but nothing currently out there seems to have the forum factor, battery life etc. that I'd want.
I'm hoping the damned long-rumored Apple tablet comes out next year. I doubt it would suit my needs (and I'm not an Apple fan), but I'd suspect that would lead to a lot of other smaller, lighter tablets meant just for reading and marking up stuff, light web browsing, PDA etc. would come out. Rather than these pricier tablets that are more like full powered lap tops.
I just need something to read and mark up academic PDFs, and it would be great if it could replace my old Palm Pilot and also surf the web, show videos and photos etc.
I'm keeping my eye on larger format touch screen/stylus e-ink devices like the Que as well though.
Most likely I'll just wait another couple years and see what comes out in terms of the business/academic market in terms of tablet devices and large touch screen e-ink devices to give them time to work out the kinks. I'm fine with printouts for now and don't want to blow big bucks to early adopt some early device that only marginally does what I want.
