However, once I was in the meeting I needed to switch between the agenda, last meeting minutes and various notes/submissions. This is just not possible on an Android device

You can replace the "Android" with iOS or Windows mobile. It's just a limitation of the one-app-at-a-time mobile device limitation. You should be able to switch between apps relatively quickly using the recent apps button, but not have multiple apps. visible at the same time. I agree, though, it severely limits usability.

and, had Microsoft got their way with the Metro interface, your laptop would have been just as frustrating and annoying as your tablet.
