From what I've seen the Nexus is an awesome device, but I'm really partial to a physical keyboard.
I hate how on screen keyboards block part of the screen, but I have seen some cool roll up USB keyboards that travel nicely.
It looks great and I know you'll have a blast with it!
Mobile computing has been my only access to the net for several years - I live in the boonies, no utilities - so battery life is a big deal. I'm interested to see what sort of life the battery has under heavy use and a weak signal.
That said, your choice of OS might help with power requirements.

Congratulations!
