iPad

You can multi-task -- you can have music playing while you surf the net, read a book or use most apps (at least the ones I currently have). In fact, I'm doing it now.

Reading books is pretty sweet -- you can add bookmarks, but I don't see how to add notes -- but there also different apps for book reading -- iPad has one, there's a kindle app as well -- may depend on what you use. I'd strongly recommend putting your hands on one and checking it out -- it isn't the ideal computing machine, but it does a nice job on the stuff is does.

So the iPad is back in consideration, though I will still wait till the Android based tablets are out. The iPad seems to have the basics of what I want, though notes would be quite nice while reading, especially since I plan to use this mostly for reading technical books and such. It will be interesting to see what the Android tablets offer and their price point.

You can type in notes while reading in the kindle app. Still not as convenient as scribbling in margins, but not bad.
