It's good for all those things, but there are more people that listen to 
music or use a calendar than that run multiple data centers ;).  I use 
mine for all of the above, and when asked what the device is I tell them 
"it's like an ultralight laptop, among other things".

Miss it no more... there is a busybox replacement with ping integrated, 
and an fping package listed on the wiki Application Catalog.  Have you 
tried them?
