What they didn't show was this: http://flors.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/screenshot13.png?w=500&h=300 That sold me right there (well for novelty value I guess). Imagine being able to apt-get on your phone. It's great (and a little suprising) to see a big company running with the debian system like this and leaving it pretty much open unlike apple. I hope they kickass with this product - although it's almost too geeky-cool to last/succeed. On one of the forums I was reading people were talking about making use of the Xserver on the phone to access apps on beefier machines - some mention of nx enhancements to X for slow connections.
