Most likely, it'll be about equal in quality to what can be achieved on ebook devices (i.e. poor). There's a chance the accuracy will be high enough to allow basic writing, but we don't know yet.

Agreed. I'll wait and see how it works with third party capacitive stylus, whether there are apps that let me mark up PDFs, word documents and books (highlighting, scribble notes on the page) like I do with printouts and paper books now.
But I'm not optimistic it will give the level of precision I need, with having very small and sloppy handwriting, and I'll probably need to wait for a good tablet with a wacom stylus screen that's built mainly for document markup/note taking to really get my ideal tablet.

As far as multitasking, there are lots of legitimate uses for it. Trying to call out one example and then decrying "but the mass market doesn't need to do that!" is nothing but rubbish fanboyism. It's unfortunate when consumers try to publicly dismiss legitimate flaws for no reason but to justify their own bias. It's a marketing strategist's dream though (and I speak from experience on that).

Agreed. As I just said to him/her in another thread. Most of us don't give a crap what the mass market/typical user needs. We only care about what we need.
Most of us don't care about how well a device sells etc., we care whether it does everything we need it to do in the way we want to do it, in a form factor we like etc.
