For the record, I don't see myself getting one any time soon (b/c I already have a laptop, a desktop, an iPod, etc.) but maybe someone who doesn't yet own an iPod touch, or a netbook, or a laptop, or a smartphone, will want one.
Let's just wait and see what will happen. I'm almost certain Apple can pull it off (once more).

^I"m in that same boat, I've already got an Ipod, and a Laptop and phone. I get enough headaches looking at my laptops/Desktops LCD screens, I dont need/want another. Plus there are features this device is missing before I would even consider it. i.e. built in camera, Flash support(until html 5 is in full effect), multitasking, more storage (sorry 64 GB I will eat up in a week), and a replaceable battery so i dont toss the thing when the battery finally does go down in efficiency, like my ipod thats only 2 years old and dies from about 30 minutes of use. Samething happened with my 5 year old laptop, but i just replaced the battery and problem solved.
