That story made me to think usefulness of the device. I think it is useful. Here are some not so hard to figure:

- Previewing & deleting photos taken with camera phone.
- Self education by reading old books from gutenberg.org
- gaming while waiting for a date
- Blogging

Let's try to find real, not so obvious, uses for the device. Please also include ideas that you think it could be used but is not yet.
No problem with the others, but your first choice is quite impossible for me, unless I were to hack together a powered USB-hub and fritz around with the 770's system software. My camera uses CF cards.

Also, you forgot to add:
- Couch-surfing (it's what the thing is marketed as!)
- lazying around in the garden, playing music without need for annoying earbuds
- Sheeting spreads with Gnumeric
- Making other people jealous
