I like the NIT because it's versatile, not limited. I want it to be a computer; I'm glad it's a full computer.

But, you know, I don't compare the camera in my cellphone to my digital camera. It's a phone first and for all the convenience of that camera, it can't compete with the device that is a camera first.

So I'm trying to say, Don't lose sight of why the NIT is remarkable by loading up on secondary features. Yes, output to an external monitor would be great, would make the NIT more useful in specific computing work. But not at the expense of lighter weight, lower cost, or better features oriented specifically towards the pocket internet.

It used to be the Nokia tablets were priced cheaper than any netbook or UMPC, and the low price meant people with computer-first-carryaround-second needs were early adopters. I believe we mustn't let that initial (and temporary) marketing advantage play a very large role in planning for the future.
