Just wondering.

Robert ;?)
The device has X built in. You don't need VNC to remotely monitor, control or access any application on any computer system that has X installed. Mac OS X comes with X & there are free versions for Windows.

Visit Matthew Alum's web site at http://www.openedhand.com for more. He's the person Nokia contacted, (contracted), to make sure that this device ran Linux well. Matthew understands and respects the concept of remote display computing very well. Using this device as a remote display to any desktop, server or supercomputing cluster makes it a very useful device.
