I think for the most part the vox does and will open the world up to some of us who have no use for a big computer but want a simple purpose device. the vox does that at an affordable price and doesnt come with a small mortgage either. Although I would still like to have the soft ice cream maker at some point...

Exactly. Sometimes I feel it's the whole keeping up with the Joneses thing. The newest fad items.
All types of tablets are very popular at the moment but not everyone can afford the like of iPad and Galaxy tabs.
Not that the more expensive items aren't good devices but many can't afford or don't need such high power ones to meet their needs.
Also it would be handy for those who want to access the web on a smaller device which means easier handling. My Mum always gravitates towards the tablets and touch screen computers in PC World because she can get them to work better than using a mouse on her regular netbook. You just press the icon you need on screen, she calls this 'her kind of computer'. Simple and easy to use.
So for someone who likes to read and wants some light browsing without the cost and space required for a regular computer this might be the kind of entry level device that would suit them fine.
