I owned one of the Nokia tablets, maybe the N770. I carried it everywhere with me for months, until I had to admit I just didn't want to use it. When something came up that required me to access my email or use the web, rather than pull out the Nokia, I would wait and do it at home if at all possible. (I didn't yet carry a laptop everywhere.)
It's interesting now to think I had this with me 24/7 for months and it didn't change my life at all. Same with the Palm V I owned before it. All the exciting ideas were there in the zeitgeist (portable general purpose computer in my pocket! ubiquitous instant access to information!) but the technology couldn't realize them yet.
