I’m drawn towards it because:
1. It does photos, and I often want to show those off without my MacBook handy
2. It does podcasts and that’s a great source of (free) content (especially BBC radio)
3. It’s software extensible – the old version got all the new features for free, and there’s much more it’s capable of over time.
What I’d like it to do, when it makes sense, is: RSS feeds, BBC iPlayer content, and simple games. Google Maps/Weather/Stocks widgets would be nice too.
