Exactly. I'm certainly not saying the device is useless, I just don't like the marketing campaign. If I wanted to sell my mom on getting an iPhone I sure wouldn't sit her down and explain how it'll tune a guitar, play Call of Duty, keep you connected to your friends via chat or let you send money via paypal.

I understand they're thinking outside the box and I applaud them for it ... I just have a hard time visualizing how I'd use it and I'd guess that many would be in my boat.
