Being able to surf anywhere is a transformative experience. It's one of the reasons people tether their existing tablets. The MAJOR benefit now, is that we have the option of doing this without requiring a second device! In fact many of us will do this for the first time.

Once people realize that they can look up recipes while in the grocery store, SSH into their server on the train, video chat on the beach, buy tickets in a cab, snap and send photos at concerts, run automation scripts at the movies, etc. I'm sure they will enjoy the inclusion of a cellular radio and accept the 'pesky' half-inch of screen lost.

I believe this device transcends both a smartphone and tablet designation. You see, it runs an OPEN variant of linux. This line of product from Nokia (IMO) represents the finest example of a convergence device. In fact, of all the MIDs and smartphones being released, there's arguably no equal.

YARR!
