I also think the poster below hit the nail on the head. I envision using this when I am not at work, at work I have a full blown laptop (which incidentally I could do most of my job on an ipad, but that is a different story).

At home, I keep in touch via email, read articles, and other things I would like to do from my easy-chair, not hunched over a desk, which I do for 8 hours a day.

Also, I am hoping it will hold and display a lot of technical pdfs, which, while mainly used at work, I feel the urge to double-check on something I am thinking of while at home, but that would be too heavy of a stack to haul around, and again, I don't want to read them on a laptop.

If I could somehow hook in RSS to our Doc mgmt system to retrieve updated docs in our organization, it would be an added bonus.

Can you type fast? I have yet to see a person type fast on an Ipad or any Tablet and I have seen a few try to do just that. I can have my netbook on my lap and in my bed, sofa and can type quite quickly... I don't see that ability... if it were I would be more interested....in any tablet....
