You don't have to sell me. I'm poised to shuck my PC and laptop. Between these two devices + secure cloud services + VNC services he!! I'm freakin' Global.

Google Now is cool w/connectivity. So it's only marginally useful for a cheapskate like me.
GO!
Getting real clost myself. Maybe not this year, but I expect in the near future there will be a tablet good enough that it can cover all my personal computing and telephone needs.
Even if the tablet makers continue to hold the line on not adding full telephone features, google talk, skype and others work well enough for my purposes.
Unless by some miracle a tablet mfg figures out how to make the screen switch to paperwhite for reading, I'll probably keep the Kindle though.
Soon as I pressed send, realized I neglected to say my music is handled via The Music Vault which stores, downloads and plays streaming audio. I am deaf in one ear so have no need for a portable MP3 player, although I think there probably is a way to transfer audio from the Vault to a tab.
I am on my second iPad, the first was upgraded when I realized the extent to which I use the thing.
I have now, apart from when physically in my office, pretty much supplanted the laptop. I no longer bring the laptop with me anywhere for any trip of a week or less. The iPad will do everything I need.
I use it for reading, books and magazines. I subscribe to my magazines on it. And I buy books from the iBookstore, Chapters (Kobo) and Amazon (Kindle). The selections and prices are different in all three stores.
I also us the iPad for creating documents, presentations, reviewing material. With ScannerPro I use it for scanning and sending docs, etc.
It is pretty much the perfect device for me, except that I may possible upgrade this year to the 128 GB version just because I do use it for so much.
I still have the laptop, and will keep it but the only things I really use it for now are Garmin uploads, photo management and document management. I scan everything that comes into the house, file it get I backed up to the server and then shred the paper.
I can't see the iPad ever really being able to handle those chores.
