I remember PCs being mocked by business writers because they were advertised as recipe file managers and checkbook balancing tools... yeah, I'll pay $3000 for that!

Anyway, rs-px nails it on the head. The use will define (or redefine) the internet tablets. Certain Nokia employees adamantly disagree with me on that-- but it's real. It's here.
Thanks, Texrat! That's high praise from somebody as knowledgeable about this field as you.

Bearing in mind we could be on the brink of one of the paradigm shifts people often talk about, I've been seriously contemplating launching a website or even print materials aimed at the burgeoning area of personal digital companions (not mobile phones, not laptops!).

Then again, it might be a little early for that kind of thing just yet.
