The higher screen resolution is not known yet, but should be in the next two weeks I think when they announce it.
This is the main reason I have not gotten an iPad or any tablet yet, the 1024x768 and 1200x800 resolutions are just crap as far as I am concerned.
Anyways, if they bump up the resolution for the iPad I will actually buy it on day 1 and thankfully I know somebody at an electronics store that will "misplace it" for me so I wont have to wait in line like an idiot, even though Apple doesn't like that but who cares what apple likes.
If they don't come out with a higher resolution, I will go for a Asus Transformer Prime even though it isn't exactly what I wanted.
I just want the thing for Web Browsing anyways.

Our EMR program works on tablets. Being able to just punch history info directly into the tablet is far better than writing it down and then transferring it with a desktop.
I think I'm with mithan - I'll see just how upgraded the screen resolution is first.

I have an Asus Transformer, and for the most part am happy with it. I like that it has a keyboard attachment, which cost me an extra $124 (from amazon, otherwise MSRP was $150), which essentially turns it into a netbook.
The keyboard also has 2 USB ports, as well as an additional slot for an SD card, and a battery which gives you more time on your tablet (the battery recharges the one on your tablet).
Watching Netflix and Crunchyroll on it is pretty nice (although obviously nowhere near as good as a 50" tv), and reading on it is pretty nice too.

For app quality I think iOS is going to be hard to beat for awhile, but the upcoming tablet fromVizio sounds like it could be compelling

Dude, Corky is right an ipad with a good stylus would rock, toss in some decent pad convert CAD apps, and it would make my job a million times easier, I could do real time changing of site drawings when I am RE on installation sites.

Steam includes DRM, but it also hosts your game distributions for retrieval at your convenience (bandwitdh allowing), and keeps games updated etc.
A mixed blessing, but at least it's not only DRM.
I wonder though why it doesn't host save game files, that would be convenient.

It does for some games. One example that does is Torchlight (a Diablo style game).
A number of Steam games also use the cloud to save settings. So you can switch PCs and not have to redo your keybindings for something like Team Fortress 2.
