A great deal of people have ditched their laptop/netbook for a tablet. iPad/Android. That's a fact, you can look at the market, you can see what people are buying and not buying.

That doesn't mean laptops are out? My 2009 Macbook can last another 5 years for sure before I find it too slow.

Doing the same work on a 2012 tablet would render me mad.

The N900's ergonomics (user interface + hw keyboard availability) is best fit to to make me forget I am not using a Desktop / Laptop
Even if it lags like a 2001 Windows XP PC

I have the iPad laying next to me but it makes me just tired from just looking at it. I always grabe the N900 even for couch surrfing.

Geiger counter. Now you are talking. I am demanding a Geiger Muller tube built into telephones for many phone generations since I discovered the invisible little gifts of our atomic past and future are virtually everywhere.

Too bad, if only this guy below had targeted the right platform , he might have raised his funds.

Don't underestimate this demand... From a quick Google search I have learned that most iOS apps have severe bugs and limitations towards business - spy grade call recording.

Keep on the debate
