Answer
The Kindle, as well the Nook, are a waste of money. They can only be used to download and display e-books. Honestly, when you look at the price of the hardware and the price of the e-book files, you're really better off just going to a used book store and buying a stack of paperbacks. Sure, they aren't as slim or sexy as the Kindle, nor can you realistically cram 100s of books into your briefcase. Then again, who really needs to carry around that many books with them? And could someone please explain to me why e-books are more expensive than a brand new paperback? Come on now, $9.95-$12.95 may be cheaper than a hard cover book, but at least after I finish reading the hard cover book...I have something that looks nice on my bookshelf! Oh, and at least with a real book, you can lend or sell it to someone. Whereas, with an e-book, you can't.
The iPad can also be used as an e-book reader, but other than that it's really just an over-sized iPod Touch. Need a calendar? I'm sure there's an app for that...for a price. Most iPad apps range from $0.99 to $5.95. The iPad is expensive. Even the low end model with its piddly 16GB of storage and WiFi is $450. A built-in 3G modem with service from AT&T is another $200 + $35/mo for service. iPad's with more storage, up to 64GB, are also available but you're looking at more money - nearly $900(!) for a top of the line iPad...which doesn't even include a fully working web browser. Seriously, your iPod Touch is a better solution here, if for no other reason than it's more portable than the large awkward iPad.
I don't know much about HP's Slate, other than folks think it could "kill" the iPad.
Honestly, I just want the guts of a Netbook crammed inside touch-screen tablet. None of this stupid "there's an app for that..." nickel and diming garbage. Give me a standard working browser that actually works with YouTube, Hulu, and has honest to goodness Flash support. That's all I really want.
Which is why I'm waiting to see what ASUS will come out with later this year. Supposedly, they're working on a netbook that will ship with Google's Chrome OS. Essentially, it's just stripped down Linux running Google's Chrome browser, and that's it. Speculation is this thing will cost under $300, causing other netbook makers to follow suit, causing a very consumer-friendly price war.
