It's not revolutionary by any means, but it seems like a convenient way to read books, newspapers and magazines while on the go - something I rarely use my laptops for, since those are just a bit too big and heavy to take along to most places.

It also seems like a decent addition to my study books. Those add up to 50+ lbs, so carrying them along simply isn't possible. Taking them along as PDFs, on the other hand...

A decent netbook would also work, but unfortunately I haven't found one yet that's suitable for reading anything more than a webpage.

Right now, though, the lack of multitasking on the iPad is a dealbreaker. I don't care about flash, but not being able to have multiple documents, a webbrowser and a text editing program open at the same time just makes it... useless.
