Very, very well said, Hedgy-mc-hedge.

Convergence *is* a wonderful thing. Ive envisioned situations similar to what you've described when using the tablet (minus the stars example -- that was truly beautiful) and often thought to myself "the tablet would be PERFECT right now."

I believe that most people really don't have vision beyond marketing hyperbole or the glaringly obvious. Until the tablet's various use scenarios are advertised or discovered via experimentation, it will continue to be viewed as a novel alternative to surfing away from a desktop. The true value, however, lies in the fundamental possibilities of ultra mobility.

Great post. This would be a EXCEPTIONAL ad campaign theme for Nokia to adopt; much better, IMO, than their current "everything is on the web" campaign.
