Yes the note seems awesome, from the first time i saw it i was thinking of having something like it, putting a keyboard on it, can live with a BT keyboard like you can get with tablets/ipad, and i would actually prefer it as such, have it like a normal laptop in the sense that you unfold it like a normal laptop.

I would just love it if android could be TOTALLY deleted and have one of the *buntu ARM dist's on it instead.
There are so many things i love with the note, just 2 VERY critily points, no HW-KB and Android.

I would rather have a full linux instead of android with 200,000+ apps.
no matter what they do with android it will never really be ROOTED, it will never really meet what we maemo users crave, the N900 for me offers the most so far.

Also i have no problem with using it for years, will rather wait instead of just buying this and that.
