My main gripe with the OP is that, while indeed it may be possible to access my files on the network, I cannot do anything useful with the majority of them on that famous "Internet Tablet": the 770/N800's browser barfs at just about any "web-app" I throw at it; the video files I store on my network will only play (sort of: Nokia chose to not use the hardware's capabilities and make us settle with choppy, low-res video) on the included media player if I convert them manually on a desktop (there is an online conversion service, but lets be honest: Nobody expects it to convert a DVD, or even a DivX file for you, right?); admitted, audio works, but only as long as you stay far away from the best known open format, Ogg-Vorbis (really cool move there, Open Source-buddy Nokia!).
So, while this blogarticle may score points in the happy-fuzzy-pink-future field, it does so only by comfortably ignoring the harsh reality of today's Nokia Internet Tablet: It just doesn't do Internet very well, and certainly not well enough to be a thin client.
(BTW, that's exactly what he's describing in this article: the Larry Ellison Thin Client. I'd suggest a phone call to Mr Ellison to ask him how he thinks about that baby these days)
