Nitrous with a turbo? Why/Why not?

I've always thought of nitrous as "turbo in a bottle". After all, the principals are similar: To cram more o2 into the cylinder so more fuel can be burnt to increase HP. Of course, a turbo uses air volume, not pure oxygen to do this. But why would one do both? I've seen a couple cars with nitrous systems and turbos. Some people use it to help spool up their monster turbos. Maybe if you had a big turbo for a broader power curve, and the nitrous to aid the high end. Maybe this approach would be useful on our old c900's since it's low end torque that kills the transmissions. Anyone care to shed some light on this for me? Lol. Am I totally off the mark on this one?
