Having a bigger screen for some of what the Touch does (video and HTML mail with links) would be nice, but I'm not really interested in getting into a new (and no doubt DRM encumbered) ebook ecosystem.

Since iPad runs iPhone OS (the OS that iPhone, iPod touch, and now iPad runs), there is no reason to believe Apple X11 will appear on the iPad unless Apple explicitly makes a version of it for iPhone OS running on iPad. Same goes for ssh, etc. That said, there are apps that already provide ssh functionality for iPhone OS, and would certainly work on iPad.
