Its comments like this that I REALLY don't understand. The tablet is worth every cent I spent on it even if development stopped TODAY. I use it every day to listen to music in at least 3 different ways, type notes in meetings and classes. I have no problem being part of a 'test audience' if I can get as much *real* use of this I am doing presently.

If you don't like this function then post that you don't like it and step back and let those of us who do like it to discuss it without stepping in just purely to stir up crap. Karel commented on my first comment loooong after I had posted it, surely only to troll the thread further.

If you don't like what the tablet does for you then sell it and buy whatever device you think would your profile better and go troll their forums.
As for me any additional functionality is a good thing even if I only use it once.

I can appreciate KJ's frustration. I think like him, I have come to the realization that Nokia has no motivation in developing the tablet into a PIM replacement and has left that up to the community.
I have also come to the realization that Nokia sees the tablet as a development mule and our community as potential presenters of whatever "concept" use they want to promote at the time. For instance, this and other future capabilities will just be "there", with no supporting applications.

Our community will then produce a flurry of activity in developing these new capabilities into useful applications only to eventually run into the brick wall of hardware limitations. We'll go through yet another period of disappointment and then BAM, Nokia will again present a new capability that they developed, in house and behind closed source code.

In reality, our community is just a means to help change the public perception of Nokia from a cell phone manufacturer to a computer company.

In essence we are promoting a future series of devices beyond "N"....
It sucks that we paid cash up front for this "privilege" though... I'm thinking we should at least be offered a dang stock option.
