Being able to do that from anywhere, well mostly anywhere you go, without having to run home or worse be tethered to the house because your on-call. This makes this device priceless to many sysadmins I am sure.

Well said, Penguinbait.

I know of several sysadmins for the Federal Judiciary who swear by their Nokia Internet Tablets. We're running N800 and N810 for solely that reason. Having Linux in your pocket with a WiFi connection and BT tether to a data-capable phone is an incredibly powerful thing. In the 90 minutes it takes me to get to work, I've patched 40 servers, checked my email, read the server logs, and debugged a flaky java servlet for a developer.

There are over 30 systems administrators in my group, and I'm friends with another 20. Everyone who has seen my N800 (and now my N810) has wanted one too. Our Division Chief saw me managing a few production servers while we were in a meeting, he asked "it's like an iPhone, but better?! Are you managing our servers from there?"

Yes sir, I am.
