If you use Gmail then Android is just a no-brainer.
To get the ability to flag Spam, to Label within the app, to navigate the labels, to search the mail on the remote server, to use the integrated contacts... if you use Gmail then just use Android already.
As for the tablet, I've found that it fitted a niche between phone and laptop.
If you've got an Air, perhaps it will do so less (but then the iPad would also be similarly low value in the face of an Air).
But in essence... it's when you're on the sofa watching TV. It's propped up in the kitchen displaying a recipe. It's used to control Spotify or my Squeezebox server.
If I go out to meeting and don't know whether I'll need a computer, I take the Nexus. It's just large enough to be effective at displaying anything. And with the WiFi bubble off my phone or a WiFi hotspot the lack of 3G is irrelevant (I've not found a single instance that I felt I needed it).
The Nexus (or any small tablet) is a new thing in addition to phone, laptop and desktop.
It's far more a content consuming device. Perfectly sized for idle browsing of the internet and touch based games.
Just get it already.
