I wandered over from the Pre-allo forum and got so excited about this thread. At my work for a hospital system in Dallas/Fort Worth, I use a tablet. It's a slate tablet from Motion. You have to be willing to traverse the learning curve of course to switch from laptop to tablet. When I start med school next year, I'm going to go with the Fujitsu Lifestyle CONVERTABLE tablet. That thing is SO amazing. You better believe that I'm going with the top of the line one too. Hospitals and practices are moving toward making the switch to electronic health record (EHR), clinical decision support tools (CDS), and computerized physician order entry (CPOE). This means that when I start my residency/practice, I will be able to use my tablet for the EHR et al. I want to be able to walk around the hospital looking at my patients' charts instead of being stuck to a desktop or COW. My two cents at least...
