As I'm a guy with a camera problem (yes, probably completely atypical), let me try to explain.
  • MTP. EyeFi and microSD won't help there. I was hoping the N900 will resolve the MTP problems/lockups and allow for remote controlled cameras so I could use it for shooting stars and funky time-lapse stuff
  • capacity. HD material will run you 5-20GB per hour, so 32GB is not an unfillable resource (actually, if 32GB was enough, I would not bother with the tablet at all, I'd just buy a 32GB SD )
  • mobility. I often leave the enclosure for copying stuff over. If that would be my NIT/netbook, I'd have to leave it (not gonna happen) or wait (the horror )
  • retrieval speed. I copy TO the HDD via USB host, but copy BACK to my main machine via eSATA. Seriously, copying Nx10G via USB (especially if it goes through a translation layer like with the NIT or a camera) is just not fun (yes, I know, the horror )
