heh, rent-a-cpu? want to do some compiling on a project, just fire up a page, upload the source in question, enter your credit card info, and get a mail/im/text (those things should merge sooner rather then later) when it done "cooking".

hehe, referring to autobuilder i take it?
yep, something like that. but in a more generic form. now that i think about it, google and amazon may have something going of that nature now. but i guess its not really aimed at individuals...

Totally agree to you lcuk -
I think this is where Nokia Maemo platform should be going - instant connectivity to cloud application - which in turn means you can work on the same app/task from your IT in the tablet form and continue on the desktop/laptop/netbook in the desktop form of the app.
That is the kind of "port" we need in apps - not a direct copy of desktop application 'ported' to the tablet device.
I think the key concept being complimentary devices to the same task.
Ex : I use Skype/Gizmo (both) from the tablet extensively and talk/chat to my friends.
But when I want my parents to see my child - I obviously go to my desktop (in a cinch the Gizmo on the ITwill do), or when I want to share a photo with them while talking I use the desktop file-send feature of Skype/Gizmo.
Or as when I am using my calendar extensively linked to Google Calendar - i use it from all platforms - but on Tablet I use mCalendar as the Google calendar form factor.

I have an Eee PC and a NIT. I used to carry the Nokia around all the time, but now I rarely touch it. It just doesn't do enough to make it worthwhile for me. I also rarely turn on my desktop computer, and gave my big laptop to my daughter. The Eee does just about everything I need, in a small (although admittedly not quite pocketable) package. For me, this is what I've been waiting years for. I realize it's not for everyone, but for me it's just about perfect. What would be perfect would be something about the size of an N8*0, but which would actually run real programs like a desktop, and had a typable keyboard. The laser-projected keyboard might eventually work, and with that the NIT form factor might work for me. Until then, my NIT won't be of much use to me, it's just a novelty.

real software? would that be windows software or x86 compiled linux software? thing is, the tablets run "real" software, hust like any other computer. it just may not run the most common software platform out there (yet)...

The OS doesn't really matter, but I find that spreadsheets, word processing, and most other apps that I use every day just don't work on the tablet. It's bad enough using the small screen, but input is a joke. It's just not possible for me to do it efficiently and quickly enough to make it worthwhile. Without a real keyboard, the device just isn't practical for my use. A touchscreen is fine for a PDA, but the NIT is obviously not a PDA. I realize there are NIT zealots who use them for everything, but it just doesn't work for me.
