mrs.parkbenchi has an ipod touch. I use it to stream stuff over the wifi, so I can watch in the garden while I smoke. A bigger screen would be nice.
The best use i've seen for an iPad, is using TeamViewer to remote connect to your home/office PC/laptop. That way you have the full computer power, and nothing to carry.
I agree that it's probably a bit early for them. There are some cheap deals on 7'' screen Android devices about. About 95 squids. They run Android OS 1.6, which is shite, by all accounts. I think they're up to 2.2 or something else.
If the ability to remote login to your proper computer, and stream video / audio appeals, then FFS. Let mrs JP buy you one. It'll only end up in the phial with the rest of the unloved equipment anyways.
