So on the tablet I'd ideally like to have all those programs open at once and able to switch between nearly instantaneously, vs having to close out an app and open another every time I need to do something else.

dmaul, have you tried an iPhone? Jumping from app to app (i.e. from a book or webpage to the mail program and back) is pretty frictionless even without multitasking (although, I have to say the 3GS is MUCH snappier than the original iPhone). Certainly isn't the same as opening and closing applications on Windows or a Mac to switch between them.
I wonder if it might be usable in your scenario moreso than mjmcleod's need to have something actually streaming.
