That may depend on what you intend to do with it.

Unfortunately I'm not familiar with PIM software for the tablets.

I personally use my tablet mostly for reading e-books, for which
FBReader is very nice.
I recommend installing openssh-server on the tablet and setting up
key-based authentication; this way you can transfer files to the tablet
over WiFi quite easily (using scp or sshfs on Linux).
I also recommend load-applet so you can see the CPU/memory usage of the
tablet in the status bar. (In my opinion using a computer without a
CPU/RAM indicator is like driving a car without a speedometer and a fuel
gauge.)
Maemo Mapper is a very nice map viewer that can download (and cache)
online world maps from various sources (OpenStreetMap, Google Maps,
etc.). It can also integrate with a Bluetooth GPS.

It's my understanding that although in principle TCP can handle huge
throughputs in practice many stacks haven't been optimized for that case, so
you have to either use a utility which opens multiple TCP sessions in parallel
or do something really radical like upgrade to the latest version of the linux
kernel.
