I have to agree with Den in USA except I also do all those things on the go and at work. No WiFI? tether to the cell phone and keep going. It fits in my pocket (try that with a laptop or net-book).

Here is couple examples of how I found mine to me a life saver:

1) I have been in the check out line at the grocery store and thought I better check my checking balance - save me some embarrassment several times!

2) Driving home from work at 4:45pm I remembered I needed to pay a bill by 5:00 and I was a half hour from the nearest payment center - out came the the NIT at the next stop light and saved again I will still have power, water, heat etc when I get home!

Yes it is slower then a full computer at times, it was never meant to replace other computers it is a enhancement. True sites with a lot of java and flash programs drive me crazy but that is where my desktop, laptop and Net-book take up the slack. It keeps me from having to go in my office or whip out the laptop, in the time it takes wait for the other to boot the NIT gets most jobs done.
