I can see it being useful possibly to paramedics, because (at least here) the heart rate monitors and all that they carry around for patients are kind of bulky (unless you're one of the lucky paramedics with one of the new laptop sized ones).
But for practical everyday use, I can't see it catching on very well. Maybe if it had the ability to dock with a computer and be used as a monitor? And then the ability to be undocked and used as a small laptop?

Yea, I can see where this would be the case. Though the capacitive screen wouldn't be very friendly to a stylus for writing notes, and as a 'clipboard' is seems kind of awkward to hold it up and use the keyboard. I can definitely see what you're saying, though that isn't exactly the mass market Apple generally caters to.
