[EDIT] In addition, a lot of the early maemo tablet software was primitive ports from linux desktop software. To operate the UI and small elements, a stylus was absolutely necessary on the incredibly high dpi 800x480 screen.

While modern phone UIs have eliminated the need for a stylus to operate the applications, it remains a superior pointing device for artwork, if the screen supports high precision location.

[EDIT2]
I'll just add that I'm very skeptical of the size of this thing for thumb typing. I have a "Q9" bluetooth keyboard which is perhaps 25% wider than the n900 and that is the limit on width where my thumbs easily reach the center keys. The 6" screen on the F(x)tec Pro 1 is of course great for reading content, but the keyboard is so large, I will need to try before buy.

Will be enjoying the Dragonbox Pyra in the meantime...

Cheers.
