Not sure about the pockets around the world nowadays but laptops and nettops don't fit in my pocket.

Tablets and phones do. Its difficult to make compares, for sure. It really depends on the purpose of the device.

I mean, take GeneralAntilles as example. For him, the N800 is a laptop. Well, no wonder he wants to run specific applications on it someone else would run on their smartphone or nettop/laptop.
