-MP3 player
Laptop--15" as I find netbooks useless for my needs (watch lots of HD video) -Nintendo DS
-Kindle.
-Maybe my small sony cybershot camera--which wouldn't be replaced--but I'm not a big picture taker so it tends to stay at home, especially if I'm with my girlfriend and she just brings hers).
So I'm really anxious to see what tablets come out. The iPad is close to what I want, but I'd like a bit bigger screen, good stylus support for mark up, Flash support, multi-tasking support etc., so it's not quite there for me yet. Maybe generation 2!

Different person, different needs. the problem with any all-in-one machine is they end up being a jack-of-all-trades, master of none. If what they do best, and every machine does something best, is your top priority, then it'll be a success for you. The question is are there enough people with your needs to make a mass market. Personally I don't think so for the Ipad, but that doesn't make me right. Only the future will tell...
That was why Jobs said the nasty things about e-readers. He didn't figure there was a market for 10's of millions of e-readers a year. Whether there's a market for 10's of millions of big video players that don't play the major video suppliers (flash) I don't know...
