Then at 11:00pm I plug it in at my bedside table to wake me in the morning. Now if I could just get it to drive me to work!
But being at home...isn't a keyboard and a mouse easier to use (and faster, e.g. flick of a finger will scroll a webpage, vs, pressing the D-pad...and keep pressing, or entire hand holding a stylus.) for GUI navigation and data input? Plus the bigger display on the desktop...and with the screen estate of 1680x1050, I can watch DivX, check e-mails, IM...etc with all apps visible.

Personally, I think the NIT is an on-the-go device...or is my mindset limiting its uses?
