Re-mapping buttons globally is also a great feature.
EDIT: The sales channel has no mention, nor does the Nokia site itself, of a non-consumer target audience. Most people don't go to tech conventions.
Fair enough, just wondering.

As to the sales channel - quite obviously it's marketed towards....whoever.

With OS2008, it's definitely MUCH closer to being a consumer device. My mom, for instance, can pick up my tablet, without any help from me, figure out how to get to the browser, games, and internet radio.

Personally, I think it's kinda fun that the typical features work well, while there's still plenty of geeking to be done with the thing.

I also personally am thrilled to death that the Internet Tablets don't resemble Windows Mobile in the least bit. Again, personal preference.

Also, this is why there's resources such as this forum, and bloggers such as myself, Tabletblog.com, maemoapps.com, and Tablet School (forgive me, i don't have the link off-hand). To help others learn about their new toy.
