It should have a great browser and have good third party applications, especially ssh (and an RDP client?) for remote access. The iPhone is out, of course.

They've now released video and pictures of the very successful flight. Looks like they're making good progress. From the page: 'We're working, patiently and step-by-step, to lower the cost of spaceflight so that many people can afford to go and so that we humans can better continue exploring the solar system. Accomplishing this mission will take a long time, and we're working on it methodically.'"
