For anyone who gets a Wii U tomorrow, one question: Can you play a game on the Gamepad while simultaneously watching something on the Hulu Plus or Netflix apps on the television? I doubt it, but I haven't seen anyone discuss it.
I think it's potentially possible to do so with games that support play solely on the GamePad, e.g. Call of Duty: Black Ops II, Darksiders II and New Super Mario Bros. U.
I'm not sure, but I believe you can also do this with the Wii U's own system (in the latest NoA video, the Wii U menu seems to be accessible while playing on the GamePad), but Nintendo TVii won't be available on the console until a system update is introduced in December. Again, unsure.
@MrWalkieTalkie: if you only knew how many hours i spent multitasking between a handheld game and a TV... even if you're not paying attention to the TV, it's great for background noise. :3

Play a movie on Wii's Netflix (or something else) on the TV and a game on your gamepad.
Problem solved!
