The actual article has a table with more than the title submitted would suggest, it also includes playing music, lightweight content creation (probably micro blogging would be my guess), managing finances and all the other things that people routinely use a computer (or any format) for. The missing category was programming but since the "study" had 33 participants it's utterly useless anyway.
Their conclusion validates what is common knowledge, that tablets can pretty much do anytimg any other computer can and people use them for everything. I was a little surprised to see managing finances because my experience is that I have seen people do this with their phone and laptops but not tablets. The main reason I think is that the tablet goes places laptops wouldn't do as conveniently and (my friends at least) trust the cellula data privacy more than coffee shop wifi privacy.
