BTW, I thought I should expand this.

You know, people use text editors for various things, not only text
editing.  (I mean "text editors" here, not "toys", that is.  So that I
mean either one of them.)  One of them is /reading/ text.  Emacs has
view-mode, which is a very nice thing, and info-mode, which is pure
genius - so much better than HTML browsing.  Also, there is Org-mode
(with agenda).  It is something that might not really need /typing/ much
text.  A tablet with Emacs + Org-mode would be great for PIM, clocking,
capturing short notes, marking things done etc.

Best,
