If you travel a lot for extended periods the last thing you want is to carry two devices in your pocket. Add a digital camera and it becomes unmanageable. Then add all the chargers, keyboard, mouse, and batteries, etc... and you begin to see why experienced travellers crave a multipurpose devise that is small. I no longer take my laptop because of security, theft and heft. I'm hoping some vendor (perferably Nokia) can combine a NIT with phone and a decent 10mp camera with 2 sdhc slots.
