When work pays for it, the price is off the table (in many ways). Seems like many people have work related uses. But those same people seem to play in a unix environment (or *nix), so that might be a problem, but it seems like you could load another package on here, so you could get your *nix on there too.
It does seem drool-worthy. Lot's of stuff in a nice tidy package. Personally, the NXXX series are much more pocket-worthy, and I'm not looking to replace my desktop (or laptop for some), I just want something that fits in my pocket to bridge the gap between my work desktop and my home desktop. Admittedly, Nokia hasn't made that yet, but with the open software environment that they have made, other folks are rapidly creating the software to bridge that gap for me, so I haven't given up.
With that said, this seems like something close to the holy grail for some. I won't knock it. I loved my Sharp Mobilon a decade ago, and to be honest, I am still looking for the clamshell to replace it. The sharp CL-1 (IIRC) came pretty close. These Nokia tablets were the closest I've found, and hence here I am. But I won't ignore anything that Sharp puts out to meet this market. I just hope they re-embrace linux.
