: IOS, Android, etc., tablet devices in a design workflow? I'm going to have to spring for one or more tablets (iPad, Tab, whatever) for testing ePubs, digital magazine ads, site rendering, etc.

I used the app minimal folio for showing my own design work around. The layout mimics how the adobe platform publishes to the ipad (left/right swipe to see different items, up/down to see more in depth of that item). It also has support for video.

The ipad has several sketching apps that I find useful for wireframing. It's a decent tool for notetaking as well in meetings. You'll want to get a stylus likely.

As for art, it has some fun art apps. But I mainly use them for fun rather than any sort of production work.

IMHO, the iPad is just a really fun device. Just enjoy it for what it is. Read some books, watch some netflix, play some games.

You might be interested in a recent Android tablet with an active digitiser, the Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet.

It uses an N-trig pen to provide pressure-sensitive input.

Here is a YouTube video showing the stylus in action, drawing in the Autodesk SketchBook app.
