What I Need From An Apple Tablet

Everyone always says you have a laptop and an iPhone, why a tablet? Here is a good example of what I need in a tablet. I have designed some moo cards for a client in Illustrator and sent him a PDF fro approval. The client has approved the cards but needs them converted to EPS and JPG to upload to the printer. It is a Saturday and I try to be available to my clients as much as possable, but as I write this I am heading out the door to go see my son play his basketball game. The game is about an hour drive away and I would love to do this conversion during the long ride. That would mean dragging my laptop since I can not do it on my iPhone. I do not have a 3g card for my laptop so no way to email the file (wish I could tether my iPhone). So the laptop is too big and the iPhone not powerful enough but these are daily needs for any designer, video editor, etc. A 10in tablet that could open up my Illustrator file, allow me to make the conversion and send it on its way would be perfect. In the end I broke out the laptop and did the job before I go…ok we are running late, out the door we go.
