That is the kind of "port" we need in apps - not a direct copy of desktop application 'ported' to the tablet device.

I think the key concept being complimentary devices to the same task.

Ex : I use Skype/Gizmo (both) from the tablet extensively and talk/chat to my friends.
But when I want my parents to see my child - I obviously go to my desktop (in a cinch the Gizmo on the ITwill do), or when I want to share a photo with them while talking I use the desktop file-send feature of Skype/Gizmo.

Or as when I am using my calendar extensively linked to Google Calendar - i use it from all platforms - but on Tablet I use mCalendar as the Google calendar form factor.
Good point, but closed standards or being dependant on one external (data mining) corporation isn't the way the go IMO.
