Storage
If these devices are supposed to be for media consumption, they don't have much storage. One 1080p movie could be 10 GB plus. A reasonable collection for a trip might be a dozen movies and a couple of TV series.

Yes, I know I can get them online, but the bandwidth is a killer. Streaming 1080p videos on a low end WiFi spot in a Hotel isn't going to give me a good result, let alone on a plane.

I'd like to get a tablet, but every time I think of a use, there's some limitation that makes it impractical. I would like to load up my music collection, not enough space, I'd like to load up my movies, not enough space, I'd like to process my RAW photos, not enough horsepower, I could use it as a remote monitor for my camera, no HDMI input, I could use it as a remote multi-touch controller for a Windows 8 PC, is this likely to fly?
