You're right, and in fact I don't rule out that I get one myself once they're cheaper (which they'll be very soon, as things go). I don't think it's a good product - but it's a good hardware to play with... and after all, we know it's MeeGo-compatible hardware.
What I find discouraging is how incomplete the product was (and still is) when they started shipping. It's the first impression that counts, and this was not only the first impression for the wetab, it was also the first impression for MeeGo. And it wasn't a good one. MeeGo would have deserved something better IMHO.
