The thing is, a regular netbook is better suited for office work than the iPad. If I have to write up some document, I prefer having a keyboard I can use with both hands. And the missing multitasking ability will prevent you from quickly looking up something on the 'net without having to close the word processor first. So proper office work probably won't be possible.

With a starting price of $500 (that's for the version without direct 'net access) I expect a few things more than a mobile photo viewer and music player. For that money you can (almost) get an Asus Eee netbook and a Kindle.

NAME
xgnokii - graphical interface of the gnokii telephone toolkit SYNOPSIS
xgnokii DESCRIPTION
xgnokii is a fancy graphical interface for libgnokii. It uses the settings in the [global] section of the configuration file of gnokii(1). You can assume that your phone is supported, however there are rare cases that you will get very limited functionality with xgnokii. xgnokii can save contacts in vCard format (thanks to Pavel Machek <pavel at ucw dot cz>) if you add .vcard or .gcrd extension (case sensi- tive) to the file name in the export contacts dialog. gnokii is a multiple systems tool suite and (eventually) modem/fax driver for the mobile phones. gnokii at the beginning was designed to support Nokia phones. At the moment it supports most of the Nokia mobiles and also supports other phones that understand AT commands. DIAGNOSTICS
Various error messages are printed to STDERR when xdebug = on is set in gnokii config file BUGS
