TechCrunch Tablet Update: Prototype B

Give it a stand and use in the kitchen for recipes etc while cooking?

Perhaps as an entry level product for people who don't know how to use a mouse but might want to use the internet.

A basis for some kind of learning device for younger kids (if they get it more robust that is).

Seems like an expensive recipe catalog.

I don't think it's a very good idea to use electronics while you're cooking. Getting grease on anything that can't be scrubbed under running water is very irritating. There's a more durable solution to this: paper. You don't have to worry about washing your hands before touching it and if you splatter food on it then it's disposable.

I use my netbook for recipes all the time. It's on the bar, I don't keep it next to the fryer--no grease issues.

That said, I think the netbook works better than this tablet, it has a built-in stand and storage so I keep commonly used recipes on it. I have been baking quite a bit lately so recipes actually come in handy.
