Flip the screen around and it is a tablet. I'm an American living/working in Israel for the next couple of years and needed a SIM card for my wifes cell phone, so I called up the local cell company expecting them to just send me one in the mail... Nope, they sent out a salesman with an IBM computer similar to this one. He had a cellular data card, logged into their system and did the whole transaction there in the lounge of the hotel I was staying in. He showed me a list of phone #'s I could pick from, gave him my credit card info and signed right for it right on his screen and he handed over the SIM card. It was pretty cool... So I can definitely see a purpose for a product like this, but probably not something the average user would need/want) Doing a quick search shows entry level models starting at about $1500, and I think one big difference is the touchscreen (see the stylus in the pic?)
