I take my notes on xournal neither with a stylus nor a keyboard.

the keyboard idea is good (+ all the manually scribbled formulas + elements (organic chemistry)), but in xournal there is no automatic line breaking. Thus, if you continue typing without pressing "enter", you will just get an incredibly long line. too inconvenient.

I also dislike the stylus since it is too short for extensive notetaking. I simply use a pencil (yup, I do have a screen protector). that is the best way I have yet found.

as for the e-book, this is my 4th reader (HP Jornada, Ipaq H3650, acer n311). I am used to reading on the screen. For maximum convenience, I rotate the image 90 degrees in fbreader, and use the + and - keys to scroll up and down pages.

Notes (Xournal), web, music. Occasional VoIP. (Oddly, Skype is more reliable on my N800 than my Windows or Linux laptops. Skype makes such glitchy software, it's a wonder anyone uses them...)

OK, what do I use my N800 for mosty...

- Alarm clock
- Newsreader (3/4 hour commute to work... I LOVE Feed Circuit it's a must have!)
- E-Book Reader (evince and fbreader)
- MMM = Mighty Mahjongg Machine :-D
- Media Player mostly for audio books
- watching movies while in bed or on the way to my girlfriend (4 hours by train *gnarf*)
- browsing or IM (pidgin) on a lazy morning when I don't want to fire up my desktop
- generally playing around with deblet...

Needed: good die-roller software for RPG-sessions...

My tablet usage:

- Music with XMMS and a pair of Sennheiser CX300s (I tried CX400s, but the they're too sensative, and don't sound right with the tablet)
- Note taking/graph drawing with Xournal and Gnumeric. I use a pencil too, ilianden. And a Zagg Invisible Shield to keep my screen safe from scratches.
- Browsing, possibly even extensive browsing. My eyesight is pretty good, so I don't have the problem most people do.
- IM, using Pidgin to use my AIM and MSN accounts together. I can't get rtcomm working, I think this is down to me having Pidgin 2.5.1 though...

Oh, and Numpty Physics to show off to anyone asking what the tablet is. It's the main thing people at college know my tablet for.

Like Aisu, my tablet is the Ultimate Communicator.
Add to his list Mauku for Twitter / Jaikus and X-Chat for IRC, and a couple of good choices for RSS readers for keeping up on other things like blogs / flickr / etc.

mClock for a bedside clock when travelling, and of course Numpty Physics and Liqbase for goofing around.

VNC viewer makes a great remote control, by the way. It's a very easy install on people's computers, and it really impresses people when you can flip through pictures on a computer slideshow being shown on TV... from your tablet while sitting on the couch.

Like debernardis, I use OpenOffice as a great on-the-road Office suite.

But mainly I love just hacking around... "Hmm, can I do that, I wonder?"

1) Weather (first thing AM)
2) RSS reading
3) Calendaring and To Do
4) GPS with Maemomapper
5) Timesheet for billing (when I have clients).
6) Dialcentral for free phone calls (I soo want to drop long distance now)
7) Mitter twitting
8) E-mail
10) Ebook reader

I would use video but as soon as I start my battery goes and I'm not keen on tethering it.

1.gps 2.news via feedcircuit 3.music with streamripper and streamtuner 4.weather 5.web browset

I use my 770 for web access and to listen to music while traveling.

home phone (skype)
mobile phone (skype, open and pay wifi)
rsfeed reader
im (rtcomm, skype)
email (gmail pop3)
i also use the email app to type simple docs, using my bluetooth keyboard, which i send to my google docs account. this is a really cool google docs capability that everyone should check out since it's a lot faster to load the email app than it is to load the google docs page.
browser
radio (fm, internet)
mp3 (built in media player because it's folder based)
i have a 6 year old desktop with ubuntu that i use about twice a week. i am thinking of trying out gpe. .
i tried it as an ebook reader, but i just like real books too much.
