That story made me to think usefulness of the device. I think it is useful. Here are some not so hard to figure:
- Previewing & deleting photos taken with camera phone.
- Self education by reading old books from gutenberg.org
- gaming while waiting for a date
- Blogging
Let's try to find real, not so obvious, uses for the device. Please also include ideas that you think it could be used but is not yet.
Also, you forgot to add:
- Couch-surfing (it's what the thing is marketed as!)
- lazying around in the garden, playing music without need for annoying earbuds
- Sheeting spreads with Gnumeric
- Making other people jealous

- VNC viewer [It's like a remote control for my PC these days]
- Check e-mail [Gmail works quite well]
- I listen to some podcasts every now and then on the thing
- External RS-MMC card reader
- Voice recorder
- Photo viewer
- Google Talk [mostly for the text chat]
- Web surfing/search
All in all, it's pretty much become an extension of my brain at this point.
