 If the battery life is anything close to the asserted 10 hours for movie viewing and games, seems like a no-brainer replacement for dvd player and portable game system.  How much memory does an HD iTunes movie require?
As a Kindle substitute, it depends on relative eyestrain, but will kill Kindle for general interest magazine/newspaper subscription.
