Will it make my mom stop crying and cat stop begging to go outside?

Come on, folks.. it won't do anything by simply existing, it needs to be used by an application that is aware of it before it does anything you'll notice. Certainly the Hildon interface itself won't use it unless Hildon itself is updated to take advantage of it. Good luck with that hope, though. But then, Nokia tablets have left with me with the impression that they're all about potential but lingering and dashed hopes.

I'm sure it'll be GREAT for games and maybe a few other apps written for it, though.
