I said I couldn't imagine it replacing any gaming devices I have. If I was a kid and still played with gameboys, maybe it would. The targetting it as a toilet tool thing was tounge in cheek (although it is it's best use) - I am aware it is selling well.
But its impossible for a tablet (or netbook, which I would view as a tool rather than a toy like the ipod) to compete with a PC or a PS3 for real gaming.
It still does nothing that a device I have lying around can't do better.
I would be quite keen for a NES/SNES/PS1 emulator for it and think that would be nifty since I occassionally do pop those on my laptop during biz trips, but I am guessing that wont get the jobs seal of approval due to the necessary piracy that goes along with it...
