I used one of these at an Outback Steakhouse a few weeks ago.
It was a bit awkward, because I wasn't sure if I was supposed to use the tablet or not. The waitress still came and took our order, then put it in on the tablet. At the end, we saw we could pay (and we did) but the waitress still brought us a check.
I guess the weirdness could be solved by better communication from the wait staff.
The best thing was that it easily allowed you to split your bill among multiple credit cards. This is easily the biggest pain about eating out with a group of people.
