Its clearly device for consuming media, not a tool for getting work done. I don't see any near-term version of the iPad being useful for a working photographer in the field (raw conversions, backups, etc). That said, I needed one in order to develop an app for displaying portfolios of images in a clean way, so the thing is a testing platform. But boy is it fun, and the display of images on it is really sweet. Given your iPhone and laptop, the iPad does not fill much need for you. Except for streaming movies from Netflix perhaps.
