I have written at least two chapters of a novel I'm writing for the magazine of our local health agency on my n810 plus Dell foldable bluetooth keyboard.
Neither netbooks nor tablets-as-we-know-them-by-now stay into the suck zone. In my very humble opinion, iphones and >=14" laptops do *suck* - the former are mobile but not powerful enough, the latter do everything but you won't carry them everywhere.
See the point?
I don't want, I really don't want think of the new coming maemo device as a genie-in-a-box without a way to open that box (without a proper keyboard which sports all the chars I need for my language and for interacting with a terminal; without directional arrows to move and scroll into text; without copy/paste, an exhilarating idiocy which has plagued all the recent symbian s60 browsers after series 80 was discontinued; without a screen I can read, without a way to run Debian or Ubuntu, and so on).
