It's got some definite advantages over both an iPod Touch/Phone, etc. It gives you a more complete viewing experience than an iPod Touch and an iPhone without having to pay for a hefty phone bill or a small pineapplein' screen.
Watching movies and reading webpages on an iPhone is extremely annoying. Using it at home is generally annoying, but this is a more affordable option than buying a new laptop. Let's face it...this fulfills most of the tasks the average consumer buys a laptop for a good price. It's thin, light, aesthetically pleasing, and does what it's intended to do. I think Apple did a good job setting the price this time...you pay for what you get. I could DEFINITELY see myself using this in school as opposed to my netbook.
A much better buy than an iPod Touch IMO. The functionality of a Kindle and a Touch AIO with a larger screen than both for a good price. As far as what it's lacking...Flash + Multi-tasking...this seems to run on iPhone OS, so I'd expect multitasking with the release of iPhone OS 4.0. Who knows about Flash. That's a mystery and also a huge disadvantage.
