Here are two examples, and bear in mind, I am a fairly low-end user who spends 99% of my time in Word and Firefox.
1) I make Powerpoint shows sometimes to use with songs I teach my students. This involves typing the lyrics onto the slides and using pictures to illustrate them. Typically, I have the internet in one window, the slide show in the other and I can rapidly switch back and forth between them to paste in a picture. I am not sure how I would do such a thing on an iPad other than quitting Safari and opening back up iWork a hundred times in a row...
2) When I play the slide show, I play it with the song. So I open my music player, start the song and then tab over to the already-open slide show and hit play. If I had to return to the home screen and wait for iWork to launch, the song would be half-over by then. And if I want to play a second song and slide show after the first one is done, it seems it would be more time consuming to do this on the iPad...
Fwiw my dad, who is in web media, told me his office was underwhelmed by the iPad...
