One could easily argue that several aspects of the tablet, including red pill mode, are much the same as a pwned iPhone. I own both devices and I use them both extensively. I've found that due to its size, the iPhone is the device that gets put in my pocket more often and therefore ends up being a portable google maps, note taker, gaming device, video player (resume is excellent inside the ipod app) etc. Also, as pointed out previously, network file sharing from the iPhone are available from several apps like DataCase or AirSharing. However, if I have serious work to do then I open up my Bluetooth keyboard and use my tablet with SSH, vpnc, rdesktop, etc. I also find the occasional Flash site that I can only access from my tablet. I also find that the word hints with the virtual keyboard sometimes makes for much faster typing than either with my BT keyboard or using my thumb on my iPhone. As a long time unix sysadmin, I've become accustomed to both closed and open systems (hardware, firmware, OS, etc) and they both have their advantages over each other. I think it's more of a personal preference the same way some prefer European or Asian cars over American cars. I can say this, though; if I hadn't already been an AT&T customer with a data plan I might have bought an iPod Touch or Android device instead of a 3G iPhone. I didn't buy the 1st gen iPhone because I had to have the slightly faster network speed as an option even though I often leave the 3G and GPS radios turned off. Also, I'd have been hard pressed to by a Nokia tablet were netbooks on the market at the time I bought my N700 and N800s... esp. now that some of them are down to US$300. -Gary _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@xxxxxxxxx https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
