Full disclosure: I'm a photographer who owns close to three dozen different cameras; early adoption/gadget obsession is something I am keenly aware of.
I still have not seen anything about <em>any</em> tablet PC that says "I must have this". Looks great, probably feels wonderful in your hands, but what can it actually do for me that a myriad of laptops/portable devices cannot? On one hand I can see why content developers will want one or two; it is another platform for them to earn money from. All the better to them - but, for the general public it seems to all come down to "who has the most toys at the end wins".
I read that when presented with the idea for a tablet device even Jobs couldn't find the compelling business/usage need the necessitate the creation of the device. They, of course, went ahead and did it; I suspect it will be a generation or two of use before we completely understand if it was a good decision or not.
Will I buy one? Nope - saving my money for that prime 85mm f.1.4 lens instead. =]
