I also liked that it was a no-nonsense no-frills video - straight-to-the point of the contest - and the only one that actually *did* show an existing tablet being used in a creative way,

That being said, I feel the best entry is the one which will be the most high-profile application, the one which will show the most potential customers the usefulness of the device and bring more users and developers into the maemo world.

...selfish as always

Thanks ArnimS! That's the only positive thing I've read about my video response in this thread. It seems there are some really bitter feelings out tthere about the finalists. I would like to thank the judges for considering me one of the top five amongst so many very creative videos. I submitted my most original use for my tablet, and that's with my motorcycle. I don't know of many geeks that like gadgets and are mecanics too. Having my internet tablet has been extremely handy in my daily life. Sometimes I wonder how I got along without it before. Good luck to everyone!!!
