I'm VERY excited to get my hands on an N810. As soon as I can afford the unit, I'm going to buy it. Hopefully, it's on the first day

I'm going to use it for nearly _everything_.

1) It's going to be a companion while I'm on the computer. Having access to reference materials for programming (APIs, code snips, etc) will be very useful while I'm developing.

2) I'm going to use it to transfer sensitive information that I'd prefer to keep off of the network (or cloud, if you prefer).

3) As an ebook reader. I enjoy reading off of a screen. I've gotten more than accustomed to it with the computer. The N810 means that I'll be able to read in bed, on a plane, etc.

4) As an audio player. Not while I'm jogging, but certainly while I'm traveling about. I have very eclectic musical tastes (but quality), and also enjoy listening to audio-books and other things. This will be a HUGE feature for me.

5) As a video player. I like watching video and often am not sitting in front of the computer/tv.

6) As a temporary personal information storage device. Phone numbers, email addresses, etc. will be stored on this device before moving online.

7) For surfing the internet. What can I say, I love the net!

8) As a phone. I use SIP almost exclusively. It's cheap and the quality is great. Although wifi isn't *everywhere*, the ability to take my home phone with me to the cafe, or a mates house is a big deal. Especially since as more people I know adopt SIP, it costs less and less.

9) To develop on. Being able to sketch, or take notes when planning an implementation is a HUGE part of my programming (far larger than the coding step). This would allow me to be productive away from the computer.

10) To develop for. I think developing for the N810 would be fun.

11) As a MAP. GPS is a fantastic bonus, though all I need is a map to find my way. I often travel to new places, and a digital map would be an indispensable feature. It beats the paper kind as well as plotting a course before I leave.

12) To email. I'm not big on the IMs, but I email constantly. The ability to send/receive emails is a big deal for me, especially on the road.

13) Video conference. Honestly, I can only see myself using this for my girlfriend, and possibly business partner, but it's a cool feature. I'd likely use the N810 as a companion to the computer for this feature as well.

14) A redundant node. This is useful for diagnosing my lan, or if I'm experiencing computer troubles.

15) As a clock. When I carried my phone, I used it as a clock when I wasn't wearing a watch. The N810 will fill this role.

16) Writing. I like to write on the computer, and composing in the park or a cafe sounds far better than at my desk.

17) As an organizer. I fully expect the N810 to access my online calendar and todo list, so that I stay organized.


I see the N810 becoming a large part of everything that I do. I've been waiting for a portable convergence device for a LONG time, and the Tablets are the first devices that really achieve this.

I'm definitely excited to get one!
