For practical use for research.
It needs to be fast, quickly scanning through a couple of articles should be possible. Flexible sensitive notetaking should be possible.
Multitasking, I want to quickly copy sections and figures to an open document to create my own overview, or start a review.
Sketching should be possible, it often is the best way to quickly explain something to someone or to help generate ideas. These sketches should be savable and properly indexed.
It should run some of the tools of the trade. I work in chemistry, so I'd like to be able to draw chemical structures that are properly recognized, can be manipulated etc. Oh, and a handwriting recognizing calculator would be convenient as well.
It should run a proper indexing system for articles/books. Something like Endnote.
It would be convenient to randomly couple a few devices together, sharing the articles and data between them. Combining the flexibility and overview of an article-covered desk with portability, copying, sharing and portability afterwards.
