Idea: Make the Internet Tablet a Communicator

It just came to me as I was typing my previous post covering those 4 N800 reviews.
Imagine if the next Nokia (NYSE: NOK) Internet Tablet had a hardware keyboard. You install a little VNC type application on your S60 device and now you have the huge 800×400 screen + keyboard at your full disposal!
I would love to have such a solution. My main mobile phone would be an N76 (in black) and in my rucksack/briefcase I would have the Internet Tablet for when I need a more robust input mechanism and more screen real estate.
Please say yes!
VNC client and also VNC server are available for the N800/770 Internet Tablets already… it’s not clear to me what you are trying to achieve though – where does the S60 device come into this? If you want to use a hardware keyboard with the Internet Tablets just use a bluetooth keyboard – they work fine.
the vlc server would be on the S60 device
the vlc client would be on the N800
Not sure why you’d need / want VNC server on the S60, but you can definitely connect (as noted above) both a server and client on the Tablet today… works great actually.
