I was already sort of leaning towards a rooted Nook Color as a replacement for my Nokia N800, but this may be just what I was waiting for - no need to muck about with it, voiding the warranty and possibly making it into a paper weight.  Good news!

Both those are larger, 10.1 and 8 inch, which makes them kinda hard to drop in a pocket.  I want something bigger (and more capable) than a phone (and not a phone), but that is still pocketable.
