Thanks.

I have an Epson Wireless Printer (515) in the bedroom and it prints on the network just fine, but if I use my Android Tablet, I have to get into Terminal Services and print from there. I had a look on the App store, and Epson has a app called Epson Connect that actually interfaces to the Wireless Printer. I have to cut and paste web pages into it, but it does print whatever I throw at it, from where ever I want. I could be on a train, VPN and bingo the print is sitting in the tray when I get home. I hate bookmarking articles, it is easier to just print it out.

I would like to point out that many of the higher end tablets have a docking station with a keyboard attached, so you could just get that and cover all bases.
Just a thought.

Wife so far is not loving it. Any useful apps? I'm referring to utility type apps, not stuff like foursquare and games. I found one for grocery list making. Stuff like that. Suggestions?

What did you end up getting her?

Well the IGoogle apps are all on a tablet.. while on the go those are useful.
You've also got tvguide and imdb.
There are versions of "office" for tablets as well. It's a pain in the butt to type without a keyboard though.
Honestly.. except for getting on the net or checking email tablets aren't super useful. They are meant to be more of a toy, what with games and neat apps and stuff.
