• You can draw a picture on a Tablet
• You can use it standing up
• You can use it to read E-Books in bed

I don't know. For the first, I'd rather use a whiteboard or paper. For the second, some users need this, but I'm not one of them. For the third, I prefer an honest to goodness paper book - it's easier to deal with in so many ways. I'm sure Tablet PC's will have success in the same places that small devices currently get a lot of use - emergency vehicles, utility people, nurses and doctors - they just aren't great devices for business users, IMHO. I'd much rather have a notebook. And as to having celebrities sign - again, ink and paper are way, way more durable for that.
