(offtopic)

Cripes, the screen on my N80 phone is way too small for me to do that, and it's awkward to use that way. No thanks: I'll use it as a modem and read the N800's larger screen.

But that was simply one small example that came to mind. Recently my wife wanted to make some dish and needed the recipe. Instead of printing a few pages out that I might then lose or throw away, I searched the 'net using my N800, found the recipe, propped the tablet on the counter and away we went. Just one more small example out of way too many to list.

It's all about convenience for me.

And at the very least, when I'm waiting somewhere and my tablet is handy, a good game of Sudoku sure helps pass the time...

Back on topic, maemo mapper is an excellent use for the N800 IMO. I believe remote controls, gaming, motion detection and numerous other upcoming applications will definitely make it very useful to many people.
