Only one side note: eventually I got my Office 4.2.1 disk from an ebay seller and installed it on the emulated Macintosh on the NIT. It's great - it's not Speedy Gonzalez, you know, but it's more than enough to work! As OsEmuTech reported first, it makes you feel quite better to know you can mess with word excel powerpoint documents while on the go with your tablet. I'm confident the keyboard issue will be resolved, and for now a combination of hw keyboard and virtual keyboard can be enough.
But... this makes me think - if running a M$ monster program on an emulated processor and OS proves feasible on our tablets, why o why can't we have Openoffice.org? I don't believe the NIT lacks the needed horsepower - but I do firmly believe that compiling that sort of thing is a pain in the a.s.s.!
