I had no need for one but got it anyway. The OS is really easy to build and install. Amazing work. Try booting it up next to your smartphone. There is no perceptible boot time -- and its arm cortex processor is probably much weaker than your phone's. It reminded me what computing could be like if you're willing to cut out the layers and build from scratch.

But a modern smart phone is such an "enabling" device, that I don't think you could realistically build a competing platform without wholesale incorporating something like Linux, with all its startup processes. It would take ages to write a minimal OS with the functionality and compatibility that modern apps (and thus users) expect. BTW, I have an N0100 too. I completely agree there's something pleasing about the immediacy of a calculator.
