If I want something more productive I get a netbook (XP, power aps, etc.). The tablet is NOT both...it's neither. I'm not even going to bring up the Iphone or G1. The tablet may have certain features that the others may not have but do you really use them often enough to justify their existence?

OK Nostradamus, got any other visions of the future?? I am sure your preditiction abilities if real could be used for something more meaningful. I predict I will buy an n900, and its replacement, just as I have bought a 770, 800 and an 810.
