A crossover between a game machine and a useful device
It's main strength in my view is being an internet machine, that is instantly available everywhere.
The large screen and reasonable keyboard mean you can surf the net comfortably. You can do it while eating breakfast in the kitchen, or in bed before going to sleep. You can do so in your car, or on your sofa.
Some apps will give you useful access to the net in addition to the general Safari - e.g. IMDB or Discover (Wikipedia client).
This is a nice game machine, with a good screen, and a choice of games, although some are becoming pricey now.
Children will often use it in groups, playing together or in turns.
It's the best magazine / newspaper reader around. You can read the NY Times or L'Express conveniently (the Kindle is B/W and with a small screen).
As a book reader, it is OK. Compared to the Kindle, the fonts are not as sharp, and it is more tiring to the eye (backlight). But, it has the touch screen which is an advantage, and a larger screen. It is also heavier. Of course it is much more than a book reader.
Could become a nice VOD machine. This means you can sit in bed, and watch the program you want over the internet. This is probably only practical in Wi-fi environment, as it is a heavy data guzzler. One nice such app is MAKO (Israeli TV), there may be others in the US. I have not rented iTunes movies on it - but potentially, this is very nice, if you are willing to pay the high Apple fees.
There is still room for more practical Apps.
It will take some more time for this machine to develop to be even more (both on the developement side, and on my side - learning useful ways to use it).
Lack of user accessible general file system makes it more difficult for office type work, especially in coordination with your main computers.
Mine sits in an Apple cover, which is nice. Some sort of protection seems a must to me.
