UNfortunately, it seems that the people that want it as a bonus, me excluded, do not want it as a cellphone also.

THat device has a limted appeal and I would not buy it. Thats why I want Nokia to change the N8XX to have cellphone capability, hopefully the same linux based UI and OS, and hopefully also, the ability to access the OS and compile new stuff, etc.

But cellphone first.

Then it wouldn't be a tablet.. it'd be a cell phone. :P A tablet is for people who want a computer first (REAL web browsing--not the comparatively limited browsing experience of iPhones and N95, PC-like experience of being able to have flexibility and a layer underneath to tinker with and be able to use programs written by the community, etc.).

If they make a cell phone MODULE to add to it--GREAT! But first, I want it to be what I bought this one for.. a pocket sized tablet PC.

I'm unconvinced by your arguments that it should HAVE to have a cell phone nor does it make any sense to convince anyone that the tablet is a device without a market. I'm particularly unconvinced given the inability of vendors to keep them in stock for very long.

Last word indeed. :P
